Cleddau Reach VC Primary School is a forward-thinking and successful school, primarily serving the communities of Llangwm, Burton and Rosemarket. The school is situated within the village of Llangwm. The school site is a modern facility which provides a well-resourced environment for learning. It is a happy, thriving community with delightful pupils and a dedicated and skilled team of staff. We are a UNCRC Rights' Respecting School and pupil voice is a strong feature of the school, with pupil bodies such as our School Council and Criw Cymraeg meeting regularly. The school also works in close partnership with the Haverfordwest Cluster of schools as well as Partneriaeth.
Our school vision is ‘Believe, Achieve, Inspire’ which represents the learning journey each of our pupils undertakes.
