Ysgol Owen Jones is a co-educational County Primary day school catering for both Infants and Juniors. Built in 1974, of semi-open plan design, the school affords a gymnasium/hall, a computer suite, ample well-equipped classrooms, and large play areas. The outside areas of the school are extensive and have continued to evolve over recent years through the generous support of the PSFA and grant assistance. The school currently has 141 pupils (126 on a roll, 15 Nursery) organized across 5 teaching groups covering Nursery through to Year 6.
Some year groups are split across classes to ensure the best use of available teaching resources. The majority of the teaching staff are very experienced and have been working at the school for several years. One of the teachers acts as Additional Needs Coordinator (ALNCo) and the school also employs classroom assistants to support the delivery of the curriculum and to support basic skills and pupils requiring full-time additional support. The Foundation Phase has increased staff ratios to support the delivery of the curriculum in this phase of the children’s learning. School meals are prepared on the premises by County Council-approved staff. There is currently 5% of pupils entitled to free school meals.
