Dyffryn Taf is an 11-18 Co-educational Comprehensive School situated roughly midway between Haverfordwest and Carmarthen, and maintained by Carmarthenshire County Council.  It opened as a Comprehensive School in 1989, with many new buildings, and has been extensively refurbished over the last few years. 

A new Mathematics Block, Science Laboratory and Sports Hall have recently been built, and overall the school provides excellent facilities for the education of its pupils. The school has an open admissions policy, the only limitation being the nature and extent of the resources made available to us. Though the first language of the majority of our pupils is English, we have a number whose first language is Welsh; these pupils are offered History, Geography, Religious Education, Drama and P.S.E. through the medium of Welsh at Key Stage 3. All subject areas are housed in suites and have been provided with the latest computer equipment, thus enabling pupils to benefit from what modern technology can offer.

The school’s aim is to extend all pupils to their full potential, intellectually, academically, spiritually, physically and socially. All school policies have this as their central consideration and motivation. We pride ourselves on the way in which we endeavour to create a caring atmosphere and ethos, where all pupils are treated with respect.

The Governors and staff of Dyffryn Taf aim to ensure that the school provides each pupil, irrespective of ability, background or gender, with the opportunity to develop to the full their intellectual, physical, practical, personal and social skills.

The school aims to provide pupils with an understanding of Welsh heritage and culture and to prepare them for life in a bilingual community. We operate a policy of equal opportunities for all and endeavour at all times to obtain the very best from our pupils. Our commitment to excellence covers all areas of school life from academic work to sporting and extra curricular activities of all types. We encourage an active involvement with the local community. We believe that these aims can be best achieved in an atmosphere which is friendly and where mutual respect is encouraged at all times. Within this framework, there must be a disciplined and purposeful attitude to all activities. We aim to ensure that pupils are happy, well motivated and active participants so that their unique qualities can be displayed.

The support of parents is encouraged and we seek partnership between parents, staff and pupils. Whilst the idea of the school as a community is of great importance to the ethos of the school, we always do our utmost to prepare pupils for the world beyond school.
