Hafod Primary School - Caretaker

Hafod Primary School is committed to providing a safe, happy and nurturing environment in which all children thrive.

We provide a relevant, engaging and inclusive curriculum that stimulates the natural curiosity of every child and is responsive to their individual needs. We effectively facilitate the acquisition of knowledge, skills and understanding to empower our children to become successful learners throughout life.
