This website aims to keep existing and prospective families in touch with what is going on in our school. We are extremely proud of the warm and welcoming atmosphere always evident in Crymlyn Primary School. Throughout the school, our pupils are supported by dedicated staff, governors, and parents. Our children are greatly valued and nurtured so that they experience success in their learning and personal growth.
Crymlyn Primary School is located in a small village on the border between Neath Port Talbot and Swansea and is a Neath Port Talbot Authority maintained school. The school comprises two buildings: the Key Stage 2 building dating back to 1907 and a pre-fabricated Foundation Phase building which was constructed in the 1930s as a temporary building.
The school has a very small hall which is situated in the Foundation Phase building. This is used for school assemblies and also doubles up as the school canteen. All school meals are cooked on the premises. Both departments are single-story and include three semi-open plan classrooms, toilets, and cloakroom areas. The Key Stage 2 building accommodates the main school office and staffroom. The Foundation Phase building accommodates the Headteacher’s office and a small room for withdrawal purposes.
Outside there is a large tarmac playground with climbing frames, a quiet area, Foundation Phase outdoor area, and a large field with willow tunnels and shelters as well as a patio area. The school’s catchment area consists of Jersey Marine, Crymlyn Burrows, and Llandarcy village. We are beginning to serve the newly developed village of Coed Darcy. A number of our pupils (15%) live outside the catchment area. The area consists of a mixture of privately owned properties and Local Authority housing together with some private–rental properties.
At the current time, the school has 61 pupils on roll (57 Fte) Strong home/school links are vital and we work hard to develop good working relationships with parents and carers. Regular opportunities are provided for parents to come into school and keep up with children’s progress. Letters, newsletters, Twitter, and texts ensure up-to-date information is always available. Our governors, headteachers, and staff are always happy to meet and discuss any queries you may have at a mutually convenient time.
