We are a part of the Carmarthenshire County Council Healthy Schools Scheme. This project forms part of the ‘World Health Organizations initiative European Network of Health Promoting Schools’.

Hygiene
As a school we take hygiene very seriously. We promote excellent personal hygiene throughout the school by regularly encouraging children to wash their hands using the NHS 7 steps to clean hands guidance. As well as this we have hand sanitizers in every class to promote good hand hygiene throughout the school day.
Oral Hygiene- In the Foundation Phase we promote the National oral Health Improvement Programme- Design 2 Smile. For more information on how you can promote excellent oral hygiene for your child at home please visit their website by clicking here
