Welcome to Hendrefoilan Primary School
At Hendrefoilan Primary School, we believe every child deserves to learn in a happy, caring and inspiring environment where they feel safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their very best.
Situated in the heart of Killay, Swansea, our school provides a rich and engaging education for children from Nursery to Year 6. With extensive grounds including woodland, sports fields, outdoor learning areas, adventure playgrounds, our Celtic Roundhouse and sensory provision, we make the most of both our indoor and outdoor environments to create memorable learning experiences.
Our vision is simple:
Learn, have fun and reach for the stars.
Everything we do is guided by this vision. We are committed to helping every child become an ambitious learner, a confident individual, an ethical citizen and a healthy, resilient young person. Through our broad and exciting Curriculum for Wales, pupils develop the knowledge, skills and values they need for life, while discovering their own talents and interests.
At Hendrefoilan, relationships are at the heart of our school. We pride ourselves on creating a warm, inclusive community where every child feels they belong. We celebrate diversity, encourage kindness and respect, and work closely with families to ensure that every pupil is supported to flourish both academically and personally.
Our curriculum is carefully designed to be meaningful, engaging and rooted in our local community. Pupils regularly learn beyond the classroom, making use of our wonderful grounds and the rich history and geography of Swansea and Gower. Alongside high standards in literacy, numeracy and digital learning, children enjoy a wide range of opportunities in sport, music, the arts, science, technology and outdoor learning.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils. They are polite, caring and enthusiastic learners who take pride in their school and contribute positively to our community through a range of leadership opportunities including our School Council, Eco Committee, Criw Cymraeg, Safety Squad, Play Pals and Head Pupils.
Our recent Estyn inspection recognised Hendrefoilan as:
“A calm and happy place where pupils make good progress and achieve well. Staff develop strong working relationships with pupils and the community. Pupils of all ages are friendly, polite and talk about their learning confidently. The school celebrates diversity and ensures that everyone is treated equally.”
We continue to build on these strengths, always striving to provide the very best opportunities for every child.
Whether you are already part of our school family or considering Hendrefoilan for your child, we hope our website gives you an insight into our vibrant school community. We would be delighted to welcome you to visit us and experience first-hand the warm, friendly atmosphere that makes Hendrefoilan such a special place.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hendrefoilan Primary School
