The case study celebrates how we successfully develop the culture, ethos and language of Wales across our school. We are all extremely proud of our children,staff and our community.  If you would like to read the case study -click here!

 

We also had more great news as we were one of the successful 6 schools in the LA Cystadleuaeth Den y Dreigiau 2023-Siarter Iaith competition ...
