'Ysgol y Ddwylan is in the market town of Newcastle Emlyn and it serves a wide geographical area that includes the villages of Adpar, Capel Iwan and Llanddyfriog. The school opened in April 1990. A significant number of pupils come from outside the catchment area. There are 12 classes at the school. In eight classes, including for pupils under five years old, Welsh is the main language medium of the teaching, while the other four classes are taught through the medium of English. In October 2013 there were 284 pupils aged between three and 11 on roll, including 14 children in the nursery.'
