Llantysilio School was built in 1858 on half an acre of land given by Major Charles John Tottenham of Plas Berwyn. The deed stated that the buildings erected on the land were ‘to be used as a school for the education of children and adults, or children only of the labouring and manufacturing or other poorer classes in the said parish, and for no other purpose’.
An additional cloakroom extension was added to the building in the 1950s. The school seems always to have been an excellent centre for education. In 1914 the school inspection report said ‘This school maintains its high reputation for educational standards and religious teaching’. Llantysilio School continues to maintain its high reputation, with over 40 pupils being taught by dedicated staff, a large range of activities and an active after school club. Here can be seen the staff and pupils of the school in 1929.
