Abercanaid Community School is situated in the village of Abercanaid which is approximately 2 miles south of Merthyr Tydfil. In 2002 we moved from our old school building in Chapel Street to a brand new, larger building in The Park where facilities have greatly improved.

We offer the children a rich, stimulating and challenging environment in which to learn and we pride ourselves on the fact that the whole atmosphere of the school is one of welcome and friendliness to parents and children.

We believe that in all activities, irrespective of varying levels of performance, each child should experience the feeling of success so that confidence is nurtured. It is important that every child should be made aware of his or her special identity and that the qualities and abilities of each child are developed. As a staff we believe that a common approach should be adopted by all to create a caring environment where children are respected and their views valued.

Take a look through our website and you will find many elements that make our school one to be proud of. Our staff are committed to helping the pupils achieve high standards, evidence of which can be seen in our teacher assessments and examples of work. However, examination results alone do not give a true reflection of what makes a school special. It is the children themselves who make this school what it is.

Please click on the class pages to find out what is going on in your child's class. We hope to update the class pages with examples of the children's work as they progress through the year.
