Caer Felin School

At Cae’r Felin Community School we believe we can offer these things. One of our aims is to ensure that every child enjoys their time at school and we strive to provide a safe, stimulating and exciting environment.

Cae’r Felin is a happy school. The teachers and support staff are all hardworking and conscientious and have a wonderful relationship with the pupils. We pride ourselves on the broad, balanced and full curriculum we offer, the highest standards of teaching and learning and the effective working relationship with parents and the community. Welsh is obviously an integral component of our school. It’s the language of lessons, the language of the school community as a whole and we also focus on our rich culture as part of our school curriculum. We value our pupils and believe that their time in school should be rewarding and fulfilling.

Cae’r Felin is a Welsh mediun primary school. The school caters for pupils of the age range 3-11 years. The school is located in the heart of the village of Pencader. Pupils from Pencader village and New Inn, Gwyddgrug, Alltwalis and Llanfihangel ar Arth areas attend the school.
