Welcome to our Cardiff Welsh Immersion website!  We are pleased you have come to find out more about us and how to benefit your child and their learning here in our diverse, multilingual and vibrant capital city of Wales.

Cardiff is a city where 60,000 people speak Welsh.  We are proud to offer Welsh-medium education and opportunities to all.  There are many advantages and long-term benefits to being able to speak both Welsh and English fluently in Wales.  Have you just moved to Cardiff?  Or is your child already attending another school, but you are considering transferring to a Welsh-medium school?

In Cardiff, it is NEVER too late to start learning Welsh!  Your child can join a Welsh-medium school at any time even if they have started their education elsewhere in a completely different language.

Our highly successful Welsh Immersion Unit is the ideal place for children to learn Welsh quickly and effectively.  If your child is age 3-14 years old and is new to the Welsh language or a latecomer to Welsh-medium education, you can still join the Welsh language journey and the Welsh Immersion Unit is just the place to start!  The intensive language course gives every child in Cardiff the opportunity to access Welsh-medium education.  We have provision specific to both primary and secondary-aged learners where children and young people are immersed in the Welsh language until they gain a level of fluency that will let them succeed in their Welsh-medium school in Cardiff.

Below is a short video that includes the views of some of our secondary age learners and their parents / carers that chose the Welsh Immersion provision for their children.

If you are new to Cardiff and your child is age 3-16, you can visit our partner website Our City, Our Language to access information on all Welsh-medium primary and secondary schools, there is also a link to apply for a school place.

If your child has not attended a Welsh-medium school before, please don't worry it is not too late and we would welcome you to come and see us to experience the unit for yourself to support you making decisions for the next step in your child's education.
