Halfway Primary School is an English-medium primary school located on Havard Road, in the Halfway area of Llanelli, approximately two miles east of the town centre. The number of pupils attending the school is currently 227 (full time equivalent) pupils from the ages of 3 to 11. Halfway is a one- form entry school with eight year groups from Nursery to Year Six. In addition to our Headteacher, we have eight full-time teachers and one part-time PPA and management time cover teacher.

The school celebrated its centenary year in 2013. A major development of the school was completed in 2011. Carmarthenshire County Council spent nearly £4 million on redeveloping the original Junior block in addition to the building of a large PE hall/ canteen. The Infant building was built in the 1990s, while the Reception/Nursery block was refurbished during 2010.

Three separate playgrounds are located at the back of the school grounds: one large playground for our Junior children and two playgrounds for the Foundation Phase. In addition, there is also an outdoor Learning Village and separate outdoor learning areas for each of the Foundation Phase classes. The school is exceptionally well equipped in terms of ICT infrastructure. There is an IT Suite located in the new Junior block, and all classes have an allocation of IT devices.

Halfway is a friendly and welcoming school - the main aim of all our staff is to ensure that all children enjoy coming to school and are involved in enriching and stimulating learning experiences. We want to develop a whole school ethos in which all our children feel proud to be pupils of Halfway, while in return providing learning opportunities that will develop our children into pupils that the school will be proud of.
