I would like to extend a warm welcome to all visitors of Langafel Church of England Primary School's website. We believe in the potential of every child regardless of background or individual needs, as expressed in Luke 15, The Parable of the Lost Sheep.
We are committed to providing an emotionally supportive environment where pupils flourish, growing both spiritually and academically; securing foundations for each child to understand who they are and the unique qualities they bring to the world. At Langafel we are very proud of our children and their achievements, for more details of our fabulous SATs results please look on our assessment page.
We work in partnership with our families, St Mary Magdalene Church and the local community to ensure the children make great progress academically and socially and leave us with happy memories and a solid foundation for secondary school.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
