Ysgol Maes y Gwendraeth

Ysgol Maes y Gwendraeth was established in 2013 and the school is a Welsh community whose core values are based on mutual respect, honesty and concern for others. The focus is on achieving each pupil’s potential and every effort is made to attain the highest standards of academic achievement for each individual. These firm foundations enable the pupils to widen their horizons so that each one can become a responsible and active citizen.

Welsh is the language used in the daily life of the school and in the majority of lessons. Sustaining a Welsh ethos within the school, the local community and beyond is a central part of the school’s work.

Another cornerstone of the school’s work and mission is the pupils’ moral, spiritual and physical development. The school upholds the highest standards of behaviour and this is reflected in the pupils’ good behaviour over the years. The school has clear and high expectations and this is supported by pupils and their families. Supporting the work of charitable and humanitarian causes is a prominent part of the work and tradition of Maes y Gwendraeth.

On these solid foundations, the school prepares its young people to take their place in their communities, whether here in Carmarthenshire or in the wider world. Each individual is important in Maes y Gwendraeth. Each pupil’s development as a rounded individual is the focus of the school’s work.

Learning and teaching are the core of the school's work and we trust that your child will thrive here with us. We look forward to welcoming you to the 'Maes community', to appreciate the success of our pupils in academic circles, on the playground, in the literary and artistic world, in charity and community or in developing ethos and diversity within the school community. At the core of our activity is the presentation and development of our pupils' linguistic skills, especially fluency and enthusiasm for the Welsh language, which is also evident within the school's motto "Education is the Wealth of Life". We encourage our pupils to take advantage of these opportunities to enhance their development as healthy and confident individuals who are ready to live full lives as valuable members of society.

In a period of change for the school, we look forward to working together with you over the next few years to support and support each pupil to the next exciting steps in their career and future.
