Since the establishment of league tables, the school has been recognised yearly in various league tables for its GCSE and A level success and for its value-for- money. It is currently the best-performing school in North Wales.
St Gerard's stands in its own grounds. Founded in 1915 by the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy as a girls' day and boarding school, it has been a fully co-educational day school since the early 1980s. In 1990, a trust was formed and the first lay headteacher appointed in 1991.
As a Catholic foundation, St Gerard's aims to create a Christian setting in which every young person has the opportunity to make the most of his or her individual gifts, laying the firm foundation of a successful future, within a caring community.
