It shares some of its facilities with Alun School.[6]

Although Ysgol Maes Garmon is a Welsh-medium school, it welcomes pupils who cannot yet speak the Welsh language, running an immersion programme to help students from English-medium primary schools to learn Welsh.[5][7][8] The school has been active in supporting Welsh-medium education.[9] In 2016 a documentary, OMG: Ysgol Ni!, was filmed at the school by S4C.[1]

As of 2021, the school's most recent inspection by Estyn was in December 2019, with judgements of Adequate and needs improvement for Standards, for Teaching and learning experiences and for Leadership and management; and Good for Wellbeing and attitudes to learning and for Care, support and guidance.[7]
