Coleg Llandrillo
Coleg Llandrillo (English meaning: Llandrillo College) is a college in the north of Wales. After its merger in 2012, Grwp Llandrillo Menai became Wales' largest further education institution. History The college (which originally only included the main campus at Rhos-on-Sea) was opened as Llandrillo Technical College by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on 23 June 1965. The word "Technical" was removed from the name of the college in response to the college's shift towards teaching academic as well as vocational subjects. The name Coleg Llandrillo Cymru was adopted around 2002 and was intended to imply that the College is for the whole of Wales. Since its merger with Coleg Menai, it is now known as Coleg Llandrillo. 2010 merger Coleg Llandrillo formally merged with Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor on 1 April 2010.
