Exciting developments are under way at Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni as the school prepares to move to a new site at the former Deri View Primary School in September 2025.
This relocation signifies an exciting new phase for the school and increases its capacity to 420 pupils alongside a 60-place Meithrin (nursery).
The new site represents a significant investment in the future of Welsh language education in Abergavenny and Monmouthshire. It aligns with the Welsh Government’s ambitious goal of reaching 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050.
As a council, we recognise our responsibility to advocate for Welsh medium education and are committed to increasing the number of children learning through the Welsh medium.
Monmouthshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, Cllr Martyn Groucutt, said, “We are thrilled to announce this transition for Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni. Over the last few years, we have seen an increase in the number of applications at Y Fenni, showcasing the evergrowing interest in Abergavenny for Welsh Medium Education.”
“From September 2025, Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni will be able to offer to increase its provision, and we look forward to the future that this holds for the school.”
