Croeso / Welcome

Welcome to Ysgol Bwlchgwyn CP, a happy, caring and inclusive school at the heart of our village community. The school is set in lovely grounds in a beautiful rural location and is proudly the highest school in Wales. We provide education for pupils aged 3 to 11 years and are an English-medium village school, situated near Wrexham in North Wales.

We currently have just over 100 pupils from Nursery through to Year 6, alongside our Early Education provision. In addition, we offer complete wrap-around care on site, provided by Cabin Crew, supporting our families throughout the school day.
We are proud to offer a nurturing environment where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their very best. We aim to develop a happy, secure, family environment where everyone aims high and is able to reach their full potential.

We aim high by:

  • Challenging ourselves and each other to create a positive learning culture with high expectations.
  • Respecting one another and the world we live in.
  • Believing in ourselves and in what we can achieve by embracing challenge together.
  • Nurturing a happy and inclusive school family which is at the heart of the community.

At Ysgol Bwlchgwyn, we place a strong emphasis on our core values of courage, kindness, effort, responsibility, communication, respect and perseverance. These values underpin everything we do and help our pupils develop into confident, resilient and compassionate individuals.

We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that inspires curiosity, creativity and a love of learning, while also supporting pupils’ well-being and personal development. Our dedicated staff work closely with families and the wider community to create a positive and engaging learning experience for all pupils.

We are proud of our strong links with the local community, including Christ Church, Bwlchgwyn Village Hall and Stori Brymbo, which enrich our pupils’ experiences and help them feel a real sense of belonging. Through a wide range of opportunities both in and beyond the classroom, we aim to prepare our children for the future, helping them grow into responsible, respectful and successful members of society.

We encourage anyone who is interested in our school to visit us, see us at work, experience our positive family atmosphere and meet our staff and children. Please do not hesitate to contact us – we look forward to welcoming you to Ysgol Bwlchgwyn. You can also keep up to date with school life by visiting our Facebook page.
