The school is committed to providing inspirational teaching that develops confident and independent learners that feel part of their communities. The pupils take ownership of their learning and are proud of their achievements, which will prepare them for life in modern Wales.'

Our school is situated on the outskirts of the rural town of Llandeilo in the village of Ffairfach in the county of Carmarthenshire. The school admits pupils on a full-time basis in the term following their fourth birthday. The school is designated as a Welsh-medium school by the Education Authority’s language policy. This means that Welsh is the main medium of the life and work of the school and seeks to ensure that pupils are fully bilingual by the time they transfer to the secondary sector.

We will be an inclusive school by:

• Providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of religion, race, ability, culture, gender, and age.
• Establishing a good working relationship with all pupils, parents, staff, governors, and the community.
• Be respectful and respected.
• Celebrate, embrace and value diversity.
• Adopting an open door policy.
• Valuing each person as an individual.

We will challenge to succeed by:

• Creating a learning and teaching environment that promotes and motivates all.
• Setting aspirational targets.
• Strive to achieve full potential.
• To focus on excellence.
• Enjoy the challenge, celebrate and share success.

The school asserts its belief in the educational value of acquiring two languages. Our bilingual policy aims to teach children to be bilingual in the use of Welsh and English by the time they leave primary school to enable them to participate fully in the bilingual community of which they are apart. The provision at the school should ensure that each child can communicate confidently in both languages and be aware of Welsh cultural heritage.
