Developing pupils’ knowledge of the culture and language of Wales

Across the school, staff are committed to ensuring that the heritage, culture and language of Wales permeate the curriculum. Nearly all staff model the use of the Welsh language effectively and pupils benefit from an extensive range of opportunities to use and apply Welsh both in the classroom and on the playground. The school’s ‘Criw Cymraeg’ hold weekly assemblies in which they celebrate Wales’s language and culture. They introduce Welsh games and recognise pupils’ attempts to master the language. The school makes the most of opportunities to take part in the National Eisteddfod, competing regularly and successfully. As a result, pupils make excellent progress in developing their Welsh language skills.
