Llanfair Primary School celebrate their Armed Forces Friendly School (AFFS) Cymru Bronze Status

November 2023

Llanfair Primary School in the Vale of Glamorgan hosted a celebration assembly upon receiving their Armed Forces Friendly School (AFFS) Cymru Bronze status.

Ellis Regan (RSLO South) and Jo Wolfe (PLO) attended the event, along with Sandra Saif and Ellie Griffith from Vale of Glamorgan council, and Abi Warbuton (AFLO), as well as some special invited guests! We were also able to meet with some of the members of the schools Little Troopers Club which was fantastic.

Congratulations on all your hard work, Llanfair! And a special thank you to Alyson Jones for all the work you do in supporting your Service children. Now let's get you to Silver!

Ashim

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Chloe

"I’m used to moving now and mixing with the children... I’ve done it so many times, it’s just a normal thing now."

Chloe

"It's ok talking over skype and that, but sometimes you just want a hug when Dad is away."

Georgia

"I’ve enjoyed going around to lots of places around the world, it's adventurous and exciting."

Harry

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Ieuan

"My mum got a chalk board and it says how many sleeps on it with chalk, every minute it’s getting closer for him coming home."

Mia

"I don’t want him to get promoted... I want him to get promoted but I don’t want to leave."

Oliver

Sianed

"My parents were in the Army. My mum is a like a nurse and my dad went to the war in Afghanistan. I actually didn’t really know what he was doing so I was like, ‘Cool Dad, go there,’ but then I found out and thought, 'Thank God he came back alive.'"

Sanjog

"He signed off last week, so he will be done by the end of this year. He’s done 24 years. I find that better because he will be around a lot. He likes watching us playing rugby, so he will get to see us more."

"I’m going to a new place entirely. They don’t know anything about me and that’s a big restart and that’s really good for me."

Piaras

"I moved to Wales because my dad was posted in the Army. I thought I would get bullied and I was shy when you meet new people, but I made some friends."
