Ysgol Gynradd Gymunedol Aberteifi was established following the amalgamation of Cardigan Infant. School and Cardigan Junior school in September 2008. The School is located in the center of the market town of Cardigan. Children have admitted to part-time education the term after their third birthday and to full-time education the term following their fourth birthday. The school is a Wesh

Refurbishment work to the school building was completed during the 2015 Summer Term. Work completed included the completion of a new corridor to join the infant and junior department, new toilets, new flooring, and new doors, and new windows to some parts of the building.
The school was successful in achieving the third prestigious platinum award from the Eco-Schools program for their dedication and commitment to improving environmental and eco aspects within the school. This was due to the hard work of the school’s Green Council. The school set up the Green School Council to co-ordinate the following aspects: Healthy Schools Scheme, Global Citizenship as well as the Eco-Schools program.
