Agincourt is a happy and secure environment for
boys and girls aged 3 – 7 years, set against the
backdrop of the beautiful Welsh hills. Small class
sizes mean that their individual abilities are nurtured
to the full, ensuring that they have close personal
relationships with their teachers, helping to build
confidence and making them feel comfortable
at school.
04
Enjoying building friendships, enjoying learning,
enjoying the school experience, this is the
foundation of our philosophy at Agincourt.
Bringing young boys and girls into education and
helping them thrive, giving them a safe, fun
environment where they can express, challenge
and enjoy themselves.

Dance and drama are enjoyed by all, with boys and girls
involved in full-scale productions that are well attended by
as many as 400 parents, grandparents and siblings. Few
things are better at building confidence and giving children
belief in themselves than speaking in public to a supportive
audience at such a young age.
