About Us
Cyfarthfa Park Primary School was formed in 2014 following the amalgamation of Brecon Road Infants School and Cyfarthfa Junior School. As a result, we are a primary school across two sites that supports a vast student body of over 400 pupils from Nursery to Year Six.
Cyfarthfa Park Primary School - Infant Department
Our Infant Department is located on Norman Terrace in a historic building that has been a primary school for Merthyr Tydfil's children since 1902.
Educated on this site are our full-time Nursery pupils and full-time Infant children from Reception to Year Two.
Cyfarthfa Park Primary School - Junior Department
Our Junior Department is located within the impressive grounds of Grade I listed Cyfarthfa Castle.
Educated here are our full-time Year Three to Year Six pupils.
Thanks to our close proximity to Cyfarthfa Castle, our Key Stage Two pupils are regualr visitors to the castle's musuem and through the Summer months experience outdoor learning in the vast park.
