YGG Llwynderw

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Llwynderw is situated in the west of the city of Swansea. The school's catchment area stretches from Rhossili in the Gower peninsula to Derwen Fawr in Sketty. There are 355 pupils between 3 and 11 years old on roll, including 51 part-time nursery age pupils.

Pupils are divided into 13 classes, including nine mixed-age classes, two reception classes and two nursery classes. Over a three-year period, around 3% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals. This is significantly lower than the national percentage (18%).

Around 28% of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes. Very few are from ethnic minority backgrounds. Welsh is the main medium of teaching and learning in the foundation phase, and the... aim is to ensure that all pupils are bilingual by the end of key stage 2.

The school has identified 12% of its pupils as having additional learning needs, which is lower than the national percentage of 21%. The acting headteacher was appointed to the post in September 2018. The school was last inspected in July 2011.
