Education
There are four primary schools in Caernarfon - Ysgol yr Hendre being the largest. The others are Ysgol y Gelli, Ysgol Santes Helen and Ysgol Maesincla.
The single secondary school serving Caernarfon and the surrounding areas - Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen - currently educates between 900 and 1000 pupils from ages 11 to 18. The school used to be spilt between two sites but in 2005 the Segontium site was closed after the main site was extended to cater for all pupils.
There is also a school for children with special needs in the town, Ysgol Pendalar, which serves all of Arfon.
Coleg Menai is a further education college for adult learners. The college has a campus in the town.
