Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch is a large Welsh-medium primary school in the Leckwith area of western Cardiff, Wales

General

The current Headteacher is Christopher Newcombe, who joined the school in 2016.

Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch provides education for pupils from a wide and diverse area of west Cardiff, including Grangetown, Riverside and parts of Canton, Butetown, Pontcanna and Victoria Park. There are 520 pupils between 3 and 11 years old on roll, including 64 part-time nursery age pupils. Pupils are divided into 18 single-age classes.

The school feeds Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr Welsh-medium secondary schools.

Welsh is the main medium of the school's life and work, although in 2018 only 40% of the pupils came from Welsh speaking homes. About 20% of pupils came from ethnic minority backgrounds.[1]

The name 'Pwll Coch' means 'red pool' in Welsh and refers to a pool in the River Ely and a hamlet which grew nearby, close to the modern Tŷ Pwll Coch public house. Tradition states that the pool filled with blood following the Battle of St Fagans in 1648.[1] The area is no longer part of the school's catchment area.

The Estyn inspection report on the school in 2018 classified the school as good in all five areas that were inspected.[2] It commented that "The staff create a happy, caring and inclusive ethos at the school, where everyone is respected and appreciated... The quality of teaching is good... most pupils make sound progress, achieve well and use their skills to a high standard by the end of key stage 2... Leaders are extremely effective... Standards of behaviour are consistently high."[3]

History

Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch was founded in 1996, co-located with Fitzalan High School. In September 1999, the school moved to a new building on land opposite Fitzalan on Lawrenny Avenue, which was the first purpose-built Welsh medium school in Cardiff.

By September 2000, due to the popularity of the school, the number of pupils had increased significantly, with two classes the first year group (two form entry). To house the larger numbers, temporary accommodation was erected on the school grounds.[4] In 2006, a significant extension of the junior department was built and the school operated two classes for all years by 2008.[5]

By September 2011 the school had temporarily expanded further, and three form entry for 2011, 2012 and 2013. In 2014 the intake reverted to 2 form entry. There were over 520 pupils on roll in 2016.
