Ysgol Bro Dinefwr is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational, state secondary school with sixth form situated in Ffairfach near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire. It currently provides 1,173 places for students between the ages of 11 and 18.

Ysgol Bro Dinefwr was formed after the merger of Ysgol Gyfun Tre-Gib and Ysgol Gyfun Pantycelyn, as part of a reorganisation of secondary education in the eastern Carmarthenshire area in 2013. The school was situated over two sites until the £30 million development of a state-of-the-art new building.

Values and vision

Ysgol Bro Dinefwr is a school that ensures students feel known, valued and appreciated. Its motto is “esgyn ar adain dysg”, Welsh for “climb onto the wing of learning”. It is a school of high expectations in terms of academic achievement, as well as behaviour. Assisted by a diverse and relevant curriculum, teachers strive to create a school of students who are independent and intuitive learners, well prepared for further education and the world of work.

The school is a bilingual school in Category 2B, which means a minimum of 80% of subjects are taught through the medium of English and Welsh, working in line with Welsh government and local authority policies to keep the Welsh language as part of the 21st-century schools programme.

Estyn

Ysgol Bro Dinefwr had its first Estyn inspection in February 2017. The results are not yet available.
