Hywel Dda Primary School

Hywel Dda Primary School is a busy but friendly school situated in Ely in the South West of Cardiff, with lots going on. We offer a happy and caring environment where your child can feel safe and secure. The education we provide is carefully matched to the learning needs of individual children. Our aim is to provide a warm, welcoming and happy environment where pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential and develop into responsible citizens. We take pride in our grounds and use them extensively to enhance children’s learning. As children progress through the school they will be offered the opportunity to participate in many extra curricular activities. We hope the time your child spends here will be profitable and enjoyable.
