The school has a happy and industrious atmosphere where everyone is treated as an individual and is known and valued by everyone else at the school. The school is pleasant environment offers many opportunities for field study work which can only enhance the children's curricular experiences. A nature reserve has been set up at the school together with an allotment area with ten raised beds for planting. In 2014 the school constructed an adventure play area, play brig, and storytelling area. Each of these contributes to the educational development of the children. The addition of the Gorlan building at the school has proved a great success, resulting in closer links being formed between the school, the pre-school children, and the local community. It is also hoped that the handbook will promote close co-operation and a meaningful relationship between the school and home. This partnership between home and school is an important one and by working together we can give each child the support which is needed for him/her to fulfill his/her potential.

Ysgol Llanfair DC is a bilingual, rural, Church in Wales school. It is situated around two miles outside the town of Ruthin and serves families from the communities of Llanfair DC, Pwllglas, and the surrounding areas. The children can choose to have their education in Welsh or English to ensure that every child becomes fluently bilingual. We provide a happy, caring, and safe learning environment and support each child to learn and develop to their utmost ability during their period in primary school. We value and respect our pupils and encourage them to develop skills to become confident individuals, aware of the wellbeing of others, and happy and responsible members of society. During these past years, a lot of evidence has been collected to support the opinion that diet has a direct effect on health. Therefore we try to promote the importance of healthy eating. Children are not allowed to bring sweets, crisps, biscuits, cakes, or chocolate to eat during playtime. Alternatively, fruit can be bought from the school at 20p a day (£1 a week), or fruit can be brought from home. If your child decides to bring a packed lunch, we strongly advise that you include healthy food, sandwiches, pasta, cheese, yogurt, raw vegetables and fruit, and so on. Try and avoid foods that are full of fat and sugar. There is a water cooler in the school and we ask each child to bring a bottle to school every day. The purpose of the Pupil Deprivation Grant is to improve the educational attainment of pupils from low-income families and who are entitled to free school meals (FSM). Schools are expected to maximize the use of this funding by introducing sustainable strategies which will quickly lead to improved outcomes for pupils entitled to free school meals. View full school
