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.

GWENFÔ SCHOOL NEWS

We’ve reached the end of a great academic year. A year in which we achieved the prestigious green flag, the ICT quality mark and the International  Schools Award, as well as an excellent inspection report from the Estyn Inspection Service. We would like to thank the community groups, parents, governors, staff and children for contributing to making Gwenfo “a good school with a warm, welcoming, caring ethos, where everyone works together to form an effective team”. Our Year 6 joined other church schools in the diocese for a leavers’ service at Llandaff Cathedral. Gwenfo’s Got  Talent We were treated to some star performances from children throughout the year groups. Samuel Slade was voted first for his superb hula-hooping skills.

Well done Year 5 for completing their swimming programme. Thank you to the PTFA for organising the summer fayre last Friday after sports day. £750 was raised by the PTFA from our Summer Fayre. This will be used  to provide IT equipment for the hall to be used by all  the children.

Vale Works will be at school refurbishing the toilets during the summer holidays, so you may see works vans. However, please be vigilant for us and watch out for anyone trespassing during the summer break – thank you.
