Around three quarters of the world’s population speak two or more languages.
Speaking more than one language opens up a wide range of social activities and expands horizons.
When applying for your child’s school place it is well worth considering the benefits a Welsh medium education can offer.

Wrexham County Borough Council is committed to providing good quality education and equality of access in the national language of choice.
We work closely with a range of partners and stakeholders to further raise standards in literacy and numeracy, and to tackle the impact of poverty on education achievement.
We have produced a booklet offering further information on the advantages of a bilingual education.
The booklet offers a guide to the benefits of bilingualism, dispels certain myths, offers case studies and also signposts to further Welsh language resources and organisations.
We have also produced a case study video (Below) that showcases the benefits of a Welsh education.
