Olchfa School (Welsh: Ysgol Gyfun yr Olchfa) is a pioneer school [1] and the largest secondary school in Swansea, South Wales, with approximately 1,700 pupils, including 357 in the Sixth Form.[2] Situated in Sketty Park to the west of Sketty, it provides secondary education for GCSE and A-Level qualifications. Olchfa (part of the Sketty Swansea suburb) means 'washing place' in the English language.
Around 12% of pupils have a special educational need and 1.7% have a statement of special educational needs. Both of these figures are below the Welsh averages of 21.5% and 2% respectively. Nearly a quarter of pupils come from an ethnic minority background and just over 20% speak English as an additional language.[2]
