Wrexham is home to the newest University of Wales college, the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education (NEWI). This incorporates the North Wales School of Art and Design. NEWI is currently seeking full University status as the future University of Wales, Wrexham.
Wrexham has a number of primary and secondary schools. It has just one Welsh-speaking secondary school, that being Ysgol Morgan Llwyd. Recently, three of the largest secondary schools, St David’s School, Ysgol Bryn Offa and The Groves High School were merged to create two larger "super Schools", Ysgol Clywedog and Rhosnesni High School. Wrexham has also become home to the first shared-faith school in Wales in the form of St Joseph’s. Yale College is the main post-16 education facility.
