History:
Ysgol Porth y Felin opened in November 1998 following the amalgamation of Conwy's three infant and junior schools. Pupils of the old Bodlondeb, Cadnant and Gyffin schools moved to a new purpose-built establishment. The school is named after the Mill Gate in Conwy's town walls, which is prominent on the school badge. The mill from which the gate gets its name is also represented on the emblem in the form of the water wheel.

The school has been awarded the Basic Skills Agency's Quality Mark.

School Uniform

 

The school has an official school uniform. It is felt that this leads to nurturing pride in the school and a sense of belonging, so we hope that parents will be willing to support the principle.

Red jumper/cardigan/sweatshirt

Plain navy trousers/skirt

Light blue shirt

Sensible black shoes

The school will stock some sweatshirts with the school logo on them. If we do not have any of the correct size then they can be ordered via the school office.

We strongly suggest that every garment be labelled with the child's name.

Pupils are expected to change into appropriate clothing before Physical Education lessons. The basic PE kit should consist of:

Plain white t-shirt (round neck)

Plain navy shorts

Sensible trainers
