## About

Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni is a Welsh-medium primary school located in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, providing education for children aged 3 to 11. The school originally opened in 1994 and has grown significantly, reflecting increasing demand for Welsh-medium education in the area. It offers a curriculum delivered primarily through the Welsh language, fostering bilingualism and cultural heritage. The school includes a nursery unit established in 2017, supporting early years education. In September 2025, Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni is relocating from its current site on St David's Road to a larger site at the former Deri View Primary School, increasing its capacity to 420 pupils plus a 60-place nursery (Meithrin). This move aims to provide improved teaching and learning environments beyond the temporary classrooms previously used. The school is recognized for its ambition and fairness, with a strong reputation in the community for promoting Welsh language and culture.

## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing: As a former student I can happily say that this school has an amazing education system and a safe environment. I was very pleased with my time there and would do anything to go back. While I was there there was cooks that weren’t very pleasant but I have since heard they the new cooks are very kind and that there food tastes outstanding. *(Jul 2023)*
