Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern is a co-educational secondary school in Bodedern, Anglesey, Wales first opened in 1977. It is a bilingual establishment run by Anglesey County Council.

History

Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern opened on 6 September 1977 and the headteacher was Carol Hughes. It replaced the old National School in London Road which was then demolished in 1984. The school's symbol, designed by artist Tegwyn Francis Jones, is a thumb pressing seeds into the earth (hence the motto 'hau i fedi' or 'sowing to harvest').
