Ysgol Bro Teifi is a naturally Welsh, all-through school for pupils aged 3–19, located just outside the town of Llandysul in south-east Ceredigion. We serve a beautiful rural and community-focused area, approximately 45 minutes from the end of the M4, about 30 minutes from Carmarthen, and around 50 minutes from Aberystwyth.

Our school opened in September 2016 following an investment of approximately £30 million by Ceredigion County Council and the Welsh Government. As the first purpose-built all-age Welsh-medium school in Wales, we offer a seamless educational continuum that enables our pupils to develop confidently from the early years through to the sixth form. According to recent evaluations by Estyn, we have succeeded in creating a supportive learning community that places a strong emphasis on the wellbeing, progress, and development of each individual.
