The current (2018) number of children currently on the roll is 540, an increase of nearly 130 pupils since 2013. The school is housed in a large, well-maintained building. There are three wings: Elwy (Foundation Phase), Alun (Year 3/4), and Dyfrdwy (Year 5/6)consisting of eighteen classrooms. We have a spacious hall which serves as a dining room and gymnasium and a fully equipped kitchen therefore high-quality school meals are prepared on-site for pupils and staff. Pupils bringing packed lunches are supervised in their registration classrooms. The school is well resourced with modern equipment. We have invested heavily in our ICT provision which includes well over 60 iPads, an interactive whiteboard in every classroom, and eight mobile laptop trolleys each containing 12 laptops each. Both Foundation Phase and KS2 have access to school libraries with well over 1000 reference books. The school aims to develop a broad curriculum, which recognizes the importance of the 'whole child. We value the contribution made by all our pupils and endeavor to support and extend pupils so that they reach their full potential in a happy, caring, and secure environment. At Ysgol Gwynedd, we have always emphasized the importance of School and Parents working together in partnership. We believe that commitment to this partnership is essential if each young child is to achieve his or her full potential. In September parents of older children are given a copy of the Home-School Agreement and you are invited to sign the parental declaration form to indicate that you have read the school's aims and values and its responsibilities and that you accept the parental responsibilities and the school's expectations of its pupils.
