The School

Introduction to the School

The school is a short walk from the town centre and the sea front. Its premises are in two parts. The building houses three classrooms, a reading room, ICT suite, school offices and the hall which we use for a variety of activities: Assemblies, P.E., Drama, Dance etc. An extension to the original building introduced a classroom specifically for our Reception class. We have an extensive outdoor play area, school yard, grassed area and nature garden. We make good use of local facilities, including the Leisure Centre and swimming pool, rugby football pitches.

The school recently built an extensive decked area designated for our youngest children during playtime. Two outside activity trails can be found: a tyre trail and an adventure trail. Soon to come will be a second decked area located in our conservation garden which will allow 'outside classes' and workshops to be held (weather permitting). From this area the Panoramic views of LLanbadarn Fawr and the Ystwyth Valley can be seen.

The school is organised on a class basis with one teacher mainly responsible for each class; all are mixed ability classes. We identify children with any special educational needs and cater for their needs in the normal classroom situation in accordance with our SEN policy. However there is provision for some teaching in smaller groups withdrawn from normal classes, and further professional advice may be sought.

"There is a good relationship between the school and the community. Pupils play a prominent part in local events and celebrations. There are also a good links with other primary schools and secondary schools".
