A message from our Headteacher

Mr Williams

My name is Mr Williams and I joined Ysgol y Llan as Headteacher in September 2024. Prior to this, I worked as Deputy Headteacher in a large junior school in Conwy and previously taught in a Church school in Denbighshire. I began my teaching career in 2008 and have enjoyed working across a range of schools and communities in North Wales.

I am passionate about creating a nurturing and ambitious environment where every child feels valued, confident and inspired to succeed. Working closely with families, governors and the wider community is extremely important to me, and I believe strong partnerships help our pupils thrive both academically and personally.

Outside of the classroom I enjoy music and sport. I particularly enjoy playing the piano and often share this with the children during assemblies and school activities. It is a privilege to lead Ysgol y Llan and to be part of such a supportive and caring school community.

I hope our website gives you a good insight into life at our school. If you would like to learn more about Ysgol y Llan, please do not hesitate to contact us or arrange a visit. We would be delighted to welcome you to our school.

Where we are

The school itself serves a close-knit village community and is known for its welcoming and family-orientated atmosphere. It is an English-medium Voluntary Aided Church in Wales primary school, where Christian values play an important role in school life. Strong links with the local parish church contribute to collective worship and community events, reinforcing the school’s ethos of faith, friendship and mutual respect.

Ysgol y Llan also has a strong commitment to the promotion of the Welsh language and Welsh culture. Pupils are encouraged to develop their Welsh language skills through daily use of Welsh across the school, supported by initiatives such as the Criw Cymraeg, whole-school Welsh activities and celebrations of Welsh heritage. This helps pupils develop confidence in using Welsh in both formal learning and informal situations around the school.
