Ysgol Ardudwy is categorised linguistically by the Welsh Government as a category 2A school: at least 80 per cent of subjects apart from English and Welsh are taught only through the medium of Welsh to all pupils. However, one or two subjects are taught to some pupils in English or in both languages.
In December 2018, 34 per cent of pupils came from Welsh-speaking homes, but 89 per cent of the school's pupils were found to speak Welsh fluently.[5]
