Ysgol Porth y Felin

[EduCativ]

Ysgol Porth Y Felin is a Voluntary controlled School of the Church in Wales and was established in September 1998 following the amalgamation of Ysgol Cadnant, Ysgol Bodlondeb, and Ysgol Gyffin. The School is named after the impressive Mill gate entrance to the Walled town of Conwy.
We educate over 300 pupils in a friendly, supportive and caring environment. All staff works tirelessly to ensure that our pupils attain the highest possible standards. We are very proud of our school and work constantly to provide exciting and stimulating experiences that raise standards for the benefit of all our pupils.
We are also very proud of our extra-curricular provision. We offer a wide range of activities including a Urdd club and also compete in several sporting activities including football, netball, tennis, athletics, cross-country running, and swimming as well as participating in the Urdd eisteddfod. Our residential visits for our junior pupils offer unforgettable experiences that live long in the memory. We also provide several enrichment activities after school hours such as the Gardening club and cookery club.
Pupil voice and their contribution to School life are extremely important to us. One of the many contributions made by the pupil council was selecting our school motto –Belief, Respect, Succeed. Recognizing its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character by the principles of the Church in Wales and partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan levels. The school aims to serve the community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.
All external doors have security locks. Sensor lighting is located around parts of the main building. The school is fully alarmed against internal trespass, with the added security measure of a fire alarm. Evacuation procedures are undertaken on a termly basis. All visitors are expected to report to the school office before being allowed admission into the school building. Staff continually monitor the safety of both the premises and teaching resources.
