The school offers a special opportunity through a PGCE partnership program (2 years) funded by the Welsh Government via the Open University. The successful candidate will teach through the medium of Welsh and support the Welsh Government’s campaign to increase Welsh speakers in Wales.

There is an exciting opportunity to train with experienced staff in curriculum areas that are at the forefront of Curriculum for Wales, with a focus on creating inspiring resources. The school has a distinctive community and supportive team culture.

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about supporting the school’s vision and who can develop into a confident, innovative educator through the Welsh medium. The school provides full support during development.
