- We take pride in the school’s high standard of achievement and the wide range of extra-curricular activities offered is also important to us. We aim to develop the whole child and to create a safe, happy and Welsh environment, ensuring that our culture is safeguarded and developed for future years. Choosing the right school for your child is probably the most important decision you will make. Ysgol y Lawn is a caring, happy, and friendly environment where the education and happiness of your child are always our priorities. Ysgol y Lawn is located in the center of the town of Rhymney at the upper end of the Rhymney valley. The school provides Welsh-medium education for children who come from several villages to the north of Bargoed town and extends from Butetown to Deri. Caerphilly is the local education authority (LEA). The school moved to this location in 1992 occupying a building and site that once belonged to the local ironmaster. The site is extensive with grounds that include numerous play areas, places to sit, grassed areas, and a forest. Currently, there are 219 pupils aged between three and eleven on a roll, a figure that includes the equivalent of 36 full-time nursery-aged children. The majority come from the town of Rhymney itself buses to transport pupils from neighboring villages. Pupils are divided into eight classes, three of which have pupils across a two-year age range. Around 94% of the pupils come from homes where English is the main language. Since the school was last inspected in 2008, it has achieved many awards and gained Eco School and Fair Trade status. The school gained its 3rd green flag in 2013 and is currently working towards the platinum award for 2015. Three additional awards were presented to the school by Caerphilly’s Pride of Place Scheme, the first was awarded in 2011 for reducing waste, Ysgol y Lawnt were the overall winners for 2011. In 2012 and 2013, the school received an award for Sustainable transport – the Walking Bus.
