Bancffosfelen Community School

In Bancffosfelen School our aim is to create a safe and happy environment for your child in order to stimulate his/her spiritual, moral, cultural and physical development.

Bancffosfelen is a happy school and this springs from the increasing number of different activities that take place here. Such an effort makes the pupils, parents, staff in general, proud of their connection with the school. We like to take an interest in our pupils after they have left and are proud of their educational achievements. After completing their education at Bancffosfelen School, our pupils continue their education at the local Secondary schools.

We truly hope that their time here will be a happy time. Every child is different. They look different, they behave differently and develop at different times. They learn at different levels and in different ways. For the sake of the child, do not compare them with other children.

Bancffosfelen Community School is a rural primary school for pupils (boys and girls) from 3½ to eleven years old. On June 25th 2017 the school celebrated 140 years since it first opened its doors! The school consists of two classrooms, a library and craft room. The hall is a multipurpose area, used for assembly, as a dining area at lunchtimes, for physical education and Clwb Hwyl which is an after school club which is held on Tuesday evenings from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m.

The school is surrounded by a playing area. No private vehicles are allowed on to the schoolyard for the safety of the pupils. There is a large school playing field next door. The pupils are separated by age into mixed ability classes. They are taught collaboratively as a whole class, in smaller groups and individually. This of course depends on the activity introduced, and the needs of the children. Groups of age, ability, friendship, gender, etc. are formed
