On behalf of all the staff of Machen Primary School I would like to welcome you and look forward to a successful association over the coming years.

Choosing the right school for your child is vitally important. Most parents want a good education for their children but it is also a place where pupils are happy and a place where they feel safe and secure. At Machen Primary School we firmly believe that we can offer all of these things. We pride ourselves on the broad balanced and all round education we provide at both the foundation Phase Years and at key stage 2 and the high standards of teaching and learning are a credit to the hard work of both staff and pupils.

It is our vision that our school is a place where both staff and children are highly motivated, where they have opportunities to experience success and develop to make the most of their talents.

We aim, by working together, to foster a partnership between parents and the school with a view to providing the very best education for your child.

I hope that you will find this brochure about our school both interesting and informative and should you choose to send your child to Machen I am fully confident that you will have made the right decision.

I look forward to meeting you soon and if you have any queries or concerns do not hesitate to contact me at the school.

Mr J Preston - Pennaeth / Headteacher
