Llanvihangel Crucorney County Primary School

[EduCativ]

Llanvihangel Crucorney School is a county primary, co-educational, day school for pupils aged 4 to 11 years. Pupils are taught in line with the Welsh Assembly Government’s Foundation Phase for pupils aged 4-7 years and the National Curriculum for pupils aged 7-11years. All subjects are taught through the English language with Welsh Second Language being taught as a separate subject. In addition to the class structure, pupils are in one of three 'Houses': Skirrid, Blorenge, and Sugar Loaf. These are each made up of children from Reception to yr6, further enhancing the family atmosphere of our school, and are run by the children themselves.
Built in 1968, the School is set on a five-acre site with two grass pitches. Basketball/netball and a floodlit multi-use court are integrated into the recreation area. Alongside, are natural areas that include a wildflower garden, planted copse, willow tunnel, and vegetable planters. We encourage much learning and play in our outdoor environment. We have also recently received funding from the Big Lottery Fund and the PTFA to construct a Gazebo for use as a quiet space at breaktimes and lunchtimes and wider community events.

Pupils are encouraged to use the language patterns and vocabulary learned in Welsh Second Language throughout the school day. Staff speaks to the pupils/gives instructions through incidental welsh and encourages the pupils to respond in the same way. Draig Fynki assembly is used to promote & celebrate the use of Welsh Second Language within the school. Built in 1968, the School is set on a five-acre site with two grass pitches.

We encourage much learning and play in our outdoor environment and we currently have plans for further developments. We have recently installed a gazebo that acts as an outdoor classroom, quiet area, all-weather facility, and a meeting place. This was funded through a grant from the Big Lottery Fund, our hard-working PTFA, and other donations. Internally, the school consists of a multipurpose hall around which are our three classrooms.
Class 1 is our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Foundation Phase Class. This class has access to the outdoor area and has toilets that are easily accessible from the classroom and the outdoor area. Class 2 (KS2 Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) share a double classroom space that has two direct access doors to outdoor areas. A disabled toilet is situated off the school hall. It is easily accessible from both within the school and the outdoor area. All areas within the school, including the toilet facilities, are cleaned daily by Mr. Willets our caretaker.
