Bro Preseli Language Centre
Bro Preseli Language Centre is located in the village of Crymych in the shadows of the Preseli Mountains. The Centre is located on the Bro Preseli Secondary School campus and serves the primary schools in the cluster's family of schools. The Centre was opened in September 1985, in order to help the area's non-Welsh speaking newcomers to get used to the Welsh language quickly. At the centre, in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, children of a similar age and linguistic ability, from many local primary schools, come together for Welsh courses.

Bro Preseli Language Centre courses
The provision of the Language Centre includes the following courses:
Latecomers course for primary school children
This two-day course has a strong focus on developing the pupils’ oracy skills with language patterns and vocabulary based on classroom practice, and expressive language in order to support the natural integration of pupils into their schools.
Progression Course for primary school children
During the second year of the course, on this one-day course, pupils build upon the skills gained in the first year, paying increasing attention to further promoting literacy skills through wider reading and extended writing. During the first and second year, language centre staff visit the child’s school on an outreach basis when required, and may observe the child’s progress within their class at school.
Welcome Course
In addition to the Latecomers' courses, the transition course ‘Cwrs Croeso' will be held for Year 6 pupils who will continue their education at Ysgol Bro Preseli in Key Stages 3 and 4.

Carys
I believe that the Ganolfan Iaith was an amazing aid to me when I was learning Welsh. The teachers were very kind and helped me when I was struggling. Since I left the Ganolfan Iaith I have taken part in many Welsh activities including winning the national cwis llyfrau competition with my school. The Ganolfan Iaith has many books, posters and pictures around it which also helped me a lot when it came to speaking and understanding Welsh. Overall, I believe the Canolfan Iaith is the best place to send your child if you want them to learn Welsh fluently and for them to enjoy the adventure of learning a new language. At the Ganolfan I learnt Welsh through verbal, interactive and creative methods. It is important to support the Welsh language and it has given me many more opportunities. I am now continuing with my studies through the medium of Welsh at ysgol Bro Preseli after learning Welsh.
