Blaendulais Primary School

Blaendulais Primary school is situated in the heart of the Dulais Valley. We are a small, rural school where children grow and develop within a happy, friendly and caring environment. We were recognised as a ‘Good’ school by Estyn in 2018/19 and categorised as ‘Green’ by NPT in 2019/2020.

At this uncertain time, it has been recommended that schools begin to prepare for ‘Distance Learning’ – that is making educational content available to pupils without attending school. In an effort to provide this in the interim period, we have updated the school website to include this functionality. On a longer term basis, documents/work may be shared via HWB (Microsoft Class OneNote/J2Easy software), however, in the short term, paper-based work and website-based work will be used.

At Blaendulais Primary, we aim to create a happy and supportive environment in which everyone works together to achieve their full potential. Blaendulais Primary is a school where pupils learn life skills which enable them to be independent, motivated, ambitious lifelong learners. Pupils are encouraged to achieve high academic standards through a wide range of challenging experiences in a positive learning environment. At Blaendulais pupils’ social skills are well developed and they have a strong sense of self worth. Pupils are happy, well behaved, respectful and friendly. Religious values displayed by our pupils include high moral standards, honesty and compassion for others. Our school has strong well developed partnerships with parents and the local and wider communities. We work together to ensure fairness and equality for all.
