Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd National School opened on 3rd February 1862. Before the National School was built, a house adjoining the Jesus Chapel approximately one mile south of Llanfair DC was used as a school for about 80 pupils of the district. Plans were drawn up in 1858-59 for the Rev E. J. Jones by architects, Lloyd-Williams and Underwood of Denbigh, for a National (Church) School, which was built at a cost of £960 by 1861. The school opened as a Mixed Junior and Infants school. The site has been considerably enlarged to the south (playground) side. The school building is Grade II listed, notwithstanding modern alterations, as a school retaining its C19 Tudor character and for group value with the other listed buildings at the centre of Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd. In February 2020 a new build school for Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd opened nearby at Bron y Clwyd with pupils transferring into this new £5.3m Church of Wales site as part of Welsh Government's 21st Century Schools programme.
