Archdeacon Griffiths Primary School is a Church Aided School, which serves a wide area in the Wye Valley including the villages of Boughrood, Llanstephan, Erwood, Crickadarn, Gwenddwr, Llandefalle and Llyswen. As a Voluntary Aided Church School, we provide an education based on Christian principles. We expect children to be well behaved, to have regard for the feelings, hopes, and expectations of other people, and to show care, courtesy, and consideration in all that they do. As a Church-Aided School, we regard our daily act of collective worship as an integral part of the day.

The school’s Mission Statement is: Friendship, Respect, Excellence
