Leaders have responded to pupil and staff voice and have included a plethora of worthwhile approaches to support this development. These approaches include:a ‘Cymraeg yn y coridor’ strategy for staff and pupils to greet each other around the school a five-minute plan to drill and repeat sentences or phrases in Welsh during the registration periodlearning walks to support areas of learning to strengthen their use of Welshcollaborative planning and working with partner primary schools The ‘Cymdeithas Gymraeg’ embrace the Welsh culture enthusiastically and organise activities to celebrate key dates in the Welsh calendar, for example a coffee morning on ‘Shwmae Sumae’ day. These approaches support the school well in its ambition to strengthen pupils’ interest in and enthusiasm for the Welsh language and culture.
