ALN
At the Federation of St Illtyd's and St. Mary's Primary Schools, we believe that every pupil should reach their full potential. We ensure that all our pupils are supported both socially and academically in order that they achieve the best they can. All staff actively promote pupil's positive self-esteem and we ensure that our pupils' well-being is paramount to all that we do.
