Corneli Primary School was originally built in 1958 as Corneli Junior school. We are excited to merge with Afon Y Felin Primary and move into a brand new school building, which will be opening September 2026, in the heart of the Marlas estate, a stones throw away from our current site.

We are a happy and friendly school that offers children between the ages of 3-11 years an exciting range of authentic learning experiences. I hope this prospectus helps you gain an insight to life at our wonderful school.

 

I am delighted to be the Acting Interim Executive Headteacher at Corneli Primary school and it gives me great pleasure to provide you with an overview of our school as prospective parents…welcome! Selecting a school for your child is often one of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make. We want you to make the right decision for your child. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or would like a visit.

Our school is a special place for children and their families to feel part of a learning community and we are excited for the future. Our official opening was 25.3.58 and we have provided high-quality education for over 60 years. We are an inclusive, community focussed school within the Bridgend Local Authority and serve the communities of North Cornelly and surrounding areas. However, we also have pupils attend from outside of the catchment, everyone is welcome! We have a mixture of mainstream and specialist classes. Our children learn in nine class bases and we currently have 253 pupils on roll. We believe that for a child to thrive, we want them to feel safe and happy whilst working within an atmosphere of trust and respect. Pupils will engage in learning that provides authentic learning experiences where their knowledge and skills will be purposeful. We have high expectations and standards for all learners. Our curriculum involves all learners and pupil voice is key. We are aiming for children who have a love of learning and are empowered with knowledge and skills that will support them in an ever-changing world so they may take their place in society as caring, independent, responsible and reliable citizens. Our Curriculum for Wales curriculum will enable our learners to be…

• Ambitious, capable learners 

• Ethical, informed citizens 

• Healthy, confident individuals 

• Enterprising, creative contributors

We hope that while reading our prospectus you feel the sense of achievement, enjoyment, excitement, hard work, love and care that the children at our school experience during their time here. We very much want to continue a partnership between home and school as it is through working together fostering mutual respect and support that we can provide what is best for our children to ensure our pupils receive the best possible start in life.
