We are witnessing in Coed Hirwaun a growing community and with it comes the opportunity for a school and its environment to prosper, flourish and grow. This website aims to keep existing and prospective families in touch with what is going on at our School and to promote the school through children's work. We hope that you will find lots of useful information here about us. We are adding pages regularly so please visit us regularly. If you would like to visit our school in person, please make an appointment to see our Headteacher, Mrs. Helen Booth.
Coed Hirwaun opened in January 2002. The school is situated in a rural location nestled in beautiful woodland very near to Margam Park, which has a wealth of local history. We have many visitors to the school and it is noticeable how many pass comment on the high quality of the learning environment and relationships within the school. The school is justifiably proud of its reputation for concern for the individual child, both in terms of welfare and educational provision. We work on the premise that every child is entitled to the highest quality educational experience that can be provided.
The staff at Coed Hirwaun Primary School are highly skilled at assessing each pupils’ level of development, supporting and moving them on at their own pace towards their full potential. We work hard to ensure that all children feel good about themselves and acquire a high level of self-esteem. We aim to achieve very high academic standards in a happy, caring, stimulating learning environment. The school has been resourced to educate children in the 21 st century, with particular emphasis on ICT and Digital Competency.
All classrooms have been equipped for interactive online learning and pupils have access to laptops, iPods, etc. Parents are encouraged to take an active part in the education of their children. We believe that by working together parents and staff can ensure that each child will make the best of his or her opportunities. In all our activities we will endeavor to work as a family, in which each member will have a sense of value, belonging, and a feeling of responsibility for the school and the community.
