Highlights from Latest Inspection

Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Lôn Las is situated in the village of Llansamlet and is maintained by Swansea local authority. There are 482 pupils between 3 and 11 years old on roll, including 70 part-time nursery pupils.

Pupils are divided into 17 classes, including one mixed-age class and two nursery classes. Welsh is the main medium of the school's life and work. Over a three-year-period, around 7% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals.

This is much lower than the national percentage of 18%. Ten per cent of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes and very few are from ethnic minority backgrounds. The school has identified 22% of its pupils as having additional learning needs, which is similar to the national percentag...e of 21%.

Very few have a statement of special educational needs. The school is currently a pioneer school and is working with the Welsh Government and other schools to proceed with developments relating to the curriculum. The headteacher was appointed to the post in September 2014 and the school was last inspected in December 2011.
