Welcome to Ysgol yr Hafod, Johnstown.
On behalf of staff, governors and pupils, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our lovely school.
In September 2023, we moved in to our newly extended and refurbished building and we are absolutely delighted with our new school!
At Ysgol yr Hafod, Johnstown, children are placed at the centre of everything we do. Pupil voice is central to our curriculum. We have a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic team of staff and together, we strive to ensure our school is a safe and happy environment where every child is valued and given every opportunity to be the best that they can be.
We believe that the environment in which they learn should be an inspirational one. We are extremely proud of the learning environment we have created in our new building. It is a place where children can thrive, use and apply their skills, follow their interests and have high aspirations.
We seek to ensure our children develop as:
- Ambitious capable learners,
- Healthy confident individuals,
- Creative contributors,
- Ethically informed citizens
“Learners for Life”
As a school we welcome and encourage parents as partners in your child’s education as we believe that our children learn best when members of staff and parents work together to support the children’s learning journey.
The community in which we are located is also very important to us. We encourage all our children to develop a sense of pride and belonging in their role as a community member. We are proud of our local Welsh history, culture and language and enjoy developing our understanding of ‘Cynefin’ and our place in modern Wales.
We hope that our website will keep you up to date with the work and activities happening in and around our very busy and thriving school.
Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision and we would encourage you to come and visit our school and see the facilities we have on offer.
We look forward to working with you as your child continues their learning journey.
