Welcome

This is a County Primary School (Infants and Juniors). It is a day, bilingual, co-educational school.

Ysgol Llandegfan serves the village of Llandegfan and the neighbouring rural area. Pupils also travel from outside the school’s natural catchment-area.

The school serves a widely spread linguistically and socially diverse community. No effort is spared to ensure that every pupil feels part of the school family.

The current school building was opened in 1972 and commands magnificent views of Snowdonia, but education has been provided in the village for over a century in the Old School which is located about 200 meters up the road from the current school.

It is the only school building of its design in the U.K. and has won prizes on account of its architecture. Its semi open-plan design and varying levels offer stimulating teaching opportunities. In 2006 a new extension was completed with two new classrooms as well as a room for the local nursery schools and Kids Club. The school benefits from extensive playing fields that are suitable for many sporting activities and which are an important asset to the community. The school has its own wildlife, vegetable and fruit gardens which greatly contribute to the green and healthy schools’ ethos.

We take pride in that parents and visitors recognize the sense of friendship and order at the school, and how new pupils happily settle down.]

There is a motivating and hard-working ethos in the classes, based on mutual respect and care. This enables pupils to develop self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning. A high standard of behaviour and commitment is expected at all times. There is a good sense of collaboration and every pupil is encouraged to accept and share diverse responsibilities.

At Ysgol Gynradd Llandegfan we have an open and healthy relationship between pupils from wide-ranging home backgrounds. Respect is shown towards Welsh first-language pupils and English first-language pupils alike, both at work and at play. Over the years pupils from many other worldwide language backgrounds have been successfully integrated into our school life. We promote our school motto to its utmost ‘ Plant yn tyfu’
