Ysgol Y Llan

[EduCativ]

Ysgol y Llan has approximately 106 pupils on roll with an additional 14 in Nursery. We are an English-medium primary school situated in the village of Whitford. Ysgol y Llan is a Church in Wales Voluntary Aided school, commanding spectacular views over the River Dee, the Wirral, and beyond. We are a popular, oversubscribed school, proud of our achievements and with a strong reputation in the local community.
The Governors and Staff of the school confirm the purpose of the school. “We aim to provide a happy and secure environment and offer each pupil a broad education encompassing all areas of the National Curriculum and to develop individual skills and talents so that every child may achieve the best of which he/she is capable.
From its first opening in 1740, rebuilding in 1851 and 1926 (following a fire) and remodeling in 2003 the children in Whitford and the surrounding parish have received their education in a small friendly atmosphere which we will continue to foster.” The ethos of our school, as described in our Instrument of Government
Recognizing its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character following 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.
Exciting times are ahead for schools in Wales with the new curriculum fast approaching. A new curriculum is being developed for settings and schools in Wales. The curriculum will be available by April 2019 for feedback. A final version will be available in January 2020 and will be used throughout Wales by 2022.
