Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Allta

[EduCativ]

We work together to give our pupils the best education and nurture in them a love and respect for their rich languages and cultures as well as those of the wider world. Our aim is that our pupils should become full, caring, and responsible members of our community and the community of the wider world.

The school first opened in September 1993 as a result of the growing demand for Welsh Language Education in the area, with 127 pupils from Reception Class to Year 1. Since then, the school has developed rapidly and now has over 300 pupils. We have two successful full-time nursery classes and we believe that this good foundation in the early years provides a solid base for a happy and successful future for your child.

Our ICT vision statement has been created to help us visualize how our school will use ICT in the future. The vision is based on three main areas, “The School Curriculum”, “Our Community” and “Safeguarding” as follows: Our ICT Vision in summary:

• To improve students’ achievement by using ICT in new and creative ways, encouraging variety in the way the curriculum is delivered to inspire wonder and awe in our students.
• To maximize the efficiency of the educational service we provide. To use ICT to help parents connect with the learning occurring in school, and to form strong links as a learning community
• To safeguard our students’ interests and protect them by ensuring we are always mindful of the effects of developing ICT within our school.
• We hope to provide a curriculum that prepares students for the demands of the technological world of the future. We want to use ICT in innovative ways to enhance attainment in our students and to support the development of a more tailored and diverse curriculum that enhances students’ creativity and exploits opportunities to inspire wonder and awe within them. We want to use ICT to engage students in the concept of the global village and challenge how they see themselves within this world. We want to be open to experimentation with new technological developments and working styles that could enhance the service we provide.
• We want to use ICT to help parents engage more easily with the school and their child’s learning experience. We want to use ICT to form a more cohesive and functional learning community.
• We want to ensure that we safeguard our students and are always mindful of the implications of developing new technologies within our school. We want to ensure ICT use is always appropriate and that while developing ICT within the school, its influence should not debase the effective practice which is already in place. Bro Allta ensures that every pupil identifies dangers using ICT and understands how to follow the correct e-safety steps effectively. We also want to ensure the environmental impact of our technologies is minimal. We will strive to ensure that the use of ICT funding is well considered and that its impact is constantly evaluated.
