Welcome to Hafod Primary School- 

 Croeso i Ysgol yr Hafod

  

The purpose of this Webpage is to give you an insight into and provide information about our school.  It is however only one link between school and parents and we feel that close and friendly links between teachers and parents are an essential part of your child's development.  Our aim is for the community to become involved in the life of the school whenever they are able and we look forward to everyone working happily together during your children's time at Hafod Primary School 

 

Hafod Primary School is situated in the Lower Swansea Valley , 1.5 miles from the City centre. There are currently 250 children in attendance, ranging from Flying Start to Year 6.

  

Sadly, the old school building, opened in 1903, was completely destroyed in an arson attack on 5th March 1992.  The new school, opened in Spring 1995 and based on two floors, consists of five double teaching classrooms. 

Hafod 

 

Hafod Primary School is situated in the Lower Swansea Valley , 1.5 miles from the City centre.  The valley was the focal point of Swansea 's 19th Century development as the copper smelting centre of the world.  The banks of the River Tawe, which form the eastern limit of the school's catchment area, retain a great deal of primary evidence of Swansea 's industrial past.  This provides an excellent historical resource and extensive use of the area is made in providing first hand experiences for the children.

  

Hafod is a tightly knit community of mainly privately owned terraced housing, a legacy of the Victorian copper industry, and a small number of modern semi-detached houses.  The school population is a mix of long established local families with roots embedded in Swansea 's industrial development and a large number of English Second Language families, originating mainly from Bangladesh .

. to facilitate regular and sequential opportunities for pupils to develop their ideas through independent enquiry

 

. to enable pupils to take increasing responsibility for classroom display and care of the learning environment.

 

. that pupils can implement agreed ground rules to support effective group work.

 

. to enable pupils to use ICT as an aid to learning
