Ruthin School is an Independent Co-educational Boarding School with four boarding houses that accommodate 250 pupils.

These boarding houses are in addition to Gladstone on the school drive, Wynne and Ellis in the main school building and Kenyon East and West on Mold Road.

The School is a happy, friendly, place to work. Staff (both academic and support staff) will say that being at Ruthin School is more of a way of life than a job. It can be tiring but also very rewarding. Energy, stamina, good humour and a well-organised approach are essential attributes to succeeding in what is essentially an extended family.
