Ysgol Y Strade

Ysgol Gyfun y Strade was established in 1977 as a mixed Bilingual Comprehensive School (Ages 11-18). In September 2018 it will have well over 1,000 pupils with a first year intake of approximately 200. The school is committed to maintaining and raising the standards of pupils’ work and behaviour and promoting Welsh medium education in a bilingual community. The annual school development plan and improvement targets directly relate to these aims. Staff and pupils at Strade work enthusiastically to uphold the school’s motto, namely- “Nid da lle gellir gwell”.

Our school is unique in Llanelli. Ysgol Y Strade is the only Welsh medium comprehensive school in the Llanelli area and it is the only school to have a Sixth Form; the seamless transition into post 16 education could be an important consideration when choosing a school for your child. Substantial building work and redevelopment of existing facilities have taken place at the school site over the last three years. We are very proud of our modern new buildings and aim to ensure that our pupils have access to the very best facilities during their time in school.

We aim to ensure the highest standards for our pupils in every aspect of school life so that they are prepared for the challenges of the future. Every individual is important to us and our aim is allow the pupils in our care to excel, whatever their strengths may be. We take pride in our long history of success, academic, sporting and extra-curricular. We hope that your child will benefit from and contribute to the further success of the school during their time with us. As well as the information provided in this prospectus you can also arrange to visit the school to experience the friendly and happy atmosphere. Such a homely ethos provides a solid foundation to enable your child to fulfil their potential.
