Ysgol Llanllechid

This school stands out as one that I would send my children to – it ticks the boxes of friendliness and standards. This school and its approach could be a template for primary education throughout the UK. The children are confident, friendly, openminded and polite. Well done all! And it is all of you that makes it!” “The provision for promoting pupils' understanding and experiences of global citizenship are outstanding. Respecting multiculturalism, promoting antiracist attitudes and developing fair play and equal opportunities are strong elements of the school's culture.”

What can be more important than preparing our children for the wider world. It’s a world of exciting cultural, career and business opportunities but also of social and environmental responsibilities. Our co-working with schools abroad is a great boost to our pupils understanding of and skills in language, numeracy, information technology, art, history and geography. Indeed, because of the long-term success of our Jamaica partnership, Ysgol Llanllechid was selected by the British Council as the best example of good practice for its training video which is distributed worldwide.

Testimony to this education’s success is that time and time again visitors to the school say that there’s no beating the pupils maturity in their discussion of important aspects in our world, nor their enthusiasm to give support and help to others in desperate need. One of our all-time favourite visitors to our school has been the world-famous poet Benjamin Zephaniah who said: “we’ll always have a very special place in my heart for the school and I think it’s a great example of how a school that on the surface can seem isolated, really is plugged into the world.” May we appeal to you to show caution when escorting and collecting your children from school, as outside the main entrance to the school by the turning is quite busy at the start and end of the school day.
