Rhyl High School will reopen on Monday 10 July after closing for two days due to concerns over cladding.

A decision was taken to close the school last Wednesday after it emerged the cladding used as part of the new building came from the same manufacturer that provided the cladding for Grenfell Tower.

In a joint statement, Denbighshire County Council and Rhyl High School said safety experts have carried out a rigorous investigation and found the building to be fully compliant, with no additional risk of fire.

They thanked pupils and parents for their patience, stressing that pupil safety is "paramount".
