Ysgol Maes Garmon is a designated Welsh-medium secondary school for pupils from 11 to 18 years old.

The school was last inspected in January 2013. In November 2016, the school became part of the formal £Cwlwm£ federation with Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Mornant, under one operational headteacher and one governing body. However, in September 2018, the role of operational headteacher of the federation was abolished and there was a return to the system of two separate headteachers within the federation arrangement.

Ysgol Gynradd Mornant now has an acting headteacher, and the headteacher of Ysgol Maes Garmon has been in post since 2010. There is also one deputy headteacher, three assistant headteachers and an additional learning nee...ds co-ordinator on Ysgol Maes Garmon's senior leadership team. The school is situated in Mold and is maintained by Flintshire local authority.
