Trehopcyn Primary School is a welcoming school with a warm and happy atmosphere. The school provides its pupils with opportunities which develop their particular skills to the full, in a caring and supportive environment. Trehopcyn Primary School is the focal point of the community and, as Headteacher, I am very pleased with the strong links forged with many outside agencies and establishments. Trehopcyn Primary School provides children with a sound foundation for the future.
As Headteacher, I would like to thank all of the teaching staff, additional practitioners, support staff, governors, parents and of course the pupils for working so hard and so effectively as a team at Trehopcyn Primary School.
Diolch yn fawr,
Mr Williams (Headteacher)
