About Ysgol Capelulo

Ysgol Capelulo is a Category T2 Welsh language provision, co-educational Community Primary School for 3–11-year-old children. The school, which is situated just off the A55, serves the villages of Dwygyfylchi and Penmaenmawr. To the east is the town of Conwy and to the west is Bangor. We provide education for 95 full time and 13 part time learners aged from age three to eleven – the Nursery children attend on a part time basis during the afternoons.

The school serves the village with children walking to school, travelling by service bus from Penmaenmawr as well as by car. The school serves an area that includes pockets of deprivation, with the majority of pupils coming from non-Welsh-speaking households. A few pupils come from households where English is an additional language. Almost all pupils continue their education at the local secondary school, while a small number choose to attend schools further afield.

There is a Playgroup facility on site using the Nursery class setting in the morning and this aids a successful transition into school.

The school runs a free breakfast club from 8:15am for pupils in Reception – Year 6. Please contact the school office for a booking form.

Headteacher’s Welcome

At Ysgol Capelulo, we believe that we can satisfy children’s needs through the medium of an education which is balanced and complete, in a homely, friendly and co-operative atmosphere.

As teachers and staff, we believe that parents and children appreciate that such an atmosphere contributes to a child’s educational, emotional, physical and moral development and prepares them for their place in society. We pride ourselves on the broad, balanced and full education we provide throughout the school and the good standards of teaching and learning, which are a credit to the hard work of both staff and pupils.
