As a bilingual school, Llanfyllin High School has a Welsh language stream in which most subjects are taught in Welsh, and an English language stream in which most subjects are taught in English. Some courses are taught bilingually. About 19% of pupils have Welsh as their first language. A group of pupils in years 6 to 9 participate in a project named Trochi (Immersion) to increase their fluency in Welsh and allow them to transfer to the Welsh language stream.

History
The school building lies on the grounds of the former Llwyn Hall that was demolished. The school was built in the 1950s to replace an earlier building and was considerably extended in the early 1970s. The school completed a £2.2 million extension and remodelling programme in 1998 providing a high standard of accommodation and resources.
Estyn inspection
In 2009, the school took part in an Estyn inspection which reported GCSE examination results as well above the local and national average.
