Ysgol yr Hendre

Ysgol yr Hendre (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈəskɔl ər ˈhɛndrɛ]) is a Welsh/Spanish-medium primary school in the large town of Trelew in Chubut Province, Argentina.

It was founded by Monica Graciela Jones in March of 1996 under the name 'Ysgol Feithrin Y Ddraig Fach' and classes were conducted in the out-building of her property.

[1] It was officially inaugurated by the effort of Catrin Morris on 6 March 2006, initially to teach children between three and five years of age in Spanish and Welsh in order to grow the school to become bilingual.

The Chubut education authorities authorised the establishment of the school and supports its aims.

[5][6][7] The development of the school was financed in part by a fundraising campaign in Wales led by the politician Dafydd Wigley and the artist Sir Kyffin Williams, which raised over US$60,000 in less than two years.
