Ysgol Tremeirchion is a Welsh Medium (Category 1), Voluntary Controlled Church in Wales Primary School which was first established in 1765. The present building was built in 1865 with the door opening for pupils on June 24th, 1866. An extension was built in 2003. Around 18% of the pupils are from Welsh-speaking homes with both parents speaking Welsh, with the remainder from either bilingual or English speaking. The parents and pupils are very supportive of the Welsh language and Welsh-medium education. The school is also a Church school. If you wish, you can enroll your child in nursery class in September following their 3rd birthday. Having a place in a nursery class at a particular school does not guarantee your child a place in a reception class at that school, and you will need to make a new application for reception class.
You can enroll your child in a reception class, at either an infant or primary school, in the September following the child’s 4th birthday. The school offers education for nursery pupils in the morning. Through collaboration with Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin, the school can offer afternoon sessions in the ‘Old School’. Welsh is the main language of teaching and learning in the school and English is introduced as a subject when pupils are in Year 3. There are currently 70 pupils on our register. This includes 59 full-time and 11 nursery pupils who attend in the morning.
At Ysgol Tremeirchion, children come first and our priority is to deliver high-quality teaching and learning whilst at the same time providing rich and truly enjoyable learning experiences for our community of children. Everything we do as a school strives to ensure that the children achieve their very best. We want every child to be successful to aim for success from the very first day they join us and throughout their education so that when they leave us, they have a love of learning for the rest of their lives.
