Llancarfan is situated in the heart of the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan, between Barry and Cowbridge.
The official catchment area of the school is the ward of Llancarfan which includes the villages of Llancarfan, Llancadle, Llanbethery, Llantrithyd, Moulton and Walterston. Subject to places being available at the school, and upon application to the Local Education Authority, children may be admitted from outside the official catchment area. We currently have many pupils at our school from Penmark, Rhoose, St. Athan and Barry.
Llancarfan Primary School is a Local Authority, co-educational, community day school.
The original school, built in 1875, houses a large teaching area where our youngest pupils are based. There are toilet facilities in this area as well as a resource room to support ICT and special needs.
There are three further teaching areas based in demountable classrooms which have their own cloakrooms and toilet facilities.
At the end of June 2000 a new building was completed - a hall area for use by the whole school and in December 2006, a further extension was added which houses a classroom with an outside learning area, a kitchen, toilets, offices, staff room and store rooms.
The school has a playing field with a low level activity trail and a tarmac playground with a variety of playground markings for games and activities. There is also a quiet area and school garden for children wishing to engage in quieter playtime activities. The youngest children also have direct access to their own fenced off area with a stage, sandpit, water tray and shelter for both curriculum use and outdoor play. The nature trail and biodiversity area with its various habitats for wildlife, as well as the pond and nesting boxes, offer further opportunities for the children to learn about the world around them.
As we are situated in the beautiful rural village of Llancarfan, we often make use of the wider outdoors such as local woodland and the stream to undertake activities such as pond dipping and forest school. The local Church with its unique, recently uncovered wall paintings, as well as the many historical remains within the vicinity are also a valuable resource for curricular activities.
