Welsh medium education
Welsh-medium education is available to everyone, whatever language you speak at home.
All kinds of families take advantage of Welsh-medium education: families who don't speak Welsh and those who do, families from all kinds of ethnic and religious backgrounds, families from Wales and those who've moved here from elsewhere.
Welsh-medium education enables children to become fully fluent in both English and Welsh.
It can give your child additional opportunities, experiences and skills.
