Gwenfô School |
|
Gwenfô Church in Wales Primary School is a Voluntary Controlled co-educational day school for pupils aged 4 to 11. The school is situated in the village of Wenvoe on the periphery of the Vale of Glamorgan and approximately six miles from the centre of Cardiff and five miles from the centre of Barry. The original school dates from 1861, but a new building was erected in two phases during the 1970’s. The single storey building is a prefabricated timber framed structure. The roof and exterior of the building have recently been refurbished; the single glazed sliding aluminium windows have been replaced with double-glazed UPVC windows and the plywood panels with coloured steel panels. Outside there is a two class demountable building and a single classroom unit. The school is protected by a security system and doors can only be accessed by keys, tag readers or buzzers. We are fortunate to have a large hall which is used for Daily Worship, P.E., Drama, Music and Welsh Folk Dancing. It also serves as a dining room with service from the adjoining kitchens. The school has a large playing field, adequate hard playing areas and an attractive garden. The school is
supported by an active PTA committee. |
