Ysgol Gymraeg Parc Y Tywyn

[EduCativ]

As a Welsh school, we encourage an understanding and knowledge of the heritage of Wales as well as producing fluent Welsh speakers. This is a Welsh school that has traditionally welcomed children from backgrounds that are linguistically Welsh-speaking and those that are not.

The school originally opened its doors for the first time on 4th October 1965. This came after a period of many efforts by some of the parents of Burry Port as well as the friends of the school. There is no doubt that without the hard work and commitment of these people there would be no provision of Welsh-medium education in the area today.

It is our belief as a staff that a close relationship is needed between the home and the school for children to reach their full potential. We invite parents to school during the autumn and summer terms to discuss the progress of their child, and both We or the staff are available to discuss any aspect of their development or school life in general. We do appreciate you making an appointment whenever possible.

School Aims:

• To develop each child emotionally and socially so they can achieve their full potential.
• To create an awareness and interest in the religious dimension through discussing other religions as well as Christianity.
• To give the children moral values and to create an awareness of other people.
• To give every child an opportunity to develop an awareness of other people’s needs.
• To develop basic skills in every subject that is taught in the school remembering each child’s age and ability.
• To develop mathematical skills.
• To introduce them to the scientific world.
• To develop language in all its forms, so that it may be a purposeful and meaningful tool in communicating, including listening, speaking, reading, writing, and the appreciation of literature.
• To create an awareness and appreciation of neighbors, language, heritage, and environment of the child.
• To develop self-expression through music, mime, drama, art, and technology as well as physical education.
• To create an awareness of the need for personal hygiene and good manners.
• To encourage safe practices in school, the home, and the community.
