We were awarded ‘Outstanding Conservation School’ by The National Conservation Education awards at a glittering ceremony at Chester Zoo in Summer 2024 and are absolutely thrilled with such an incredible accolade.

Mrs Kay Lawrenson, our Llyn Brenig class teacher and ALNCo, was a finalist in The Leader Education Awards Primary School Teacher of the Year in 2025, while Mrs Louisa Burton, our Early Years leader and Llyn Elsi class teacher, was one of the three finalists in The Leader Education Awards Primary School Teacher of the Year category in 2026.
