About Our School



The new building of Llanfabon Infants' School opened on March 4th, 1992. It will accommodate up to 210 pupils, aged from 3 to 7 years. At present there are 177 pupils registered at the school.

The classrooms are housed in the two wings of the school (one for older and one for younger pupils), which lead off from the central hall, together with an outside demountable for the present Nursery. The Head teacher’s Office, the Clerk's Office, the Staff Room and the Kitchen are situated centrally. The teaching areas and the playgrounds have a south-facing aspect with attractive views of the surrounding countryside and mountains.

The Nursery and Reception Classes have their own enclosed play area, so that our younger pupils can play safely outside on large apparatus. The main play area is pleasantly designed, with tarmac and grassed play areas. Both play areas have been painted with games. The Nursery and Reception playground has recently had a new climbing frame installed. Landscaped garden areas provide bright displays at the entrance to the school and in the car parks.

A conservation area is being developed within the school grounds. A small woodland area has been planted, although this will take a number of years to develop. There is also an outdoor teaching area. As this conservation area matures it will provide our pupils with an exciting and stimulating resource, which will enhance the teaching of many curriculum areas in line with Foundation Phase principles.
