Ysgol Gymuned Penisarwaen

[EduCativ]

Our school ethos is based on developing every child to their maximum ability both academically and extra-curricular. We aim to do so in a friendly, easy-going, and happy environment. Ysgol Gymuned Penisarwaun takes pride in how the school’s stakeholders effectively collaborate to achieve our aims: comprising pupils, staff, parents, governors, and the local and wider community.
In addition, pupils' standards of behavior are excellent and it is heartening to observe them collaborating with respect, courtesy, sharing the objective of ensuring everybody’s mutual benefit. Our objective is to develop every child’s self-confidence and to instill their independence as they commence the process of becoming lifelong learners and responsible and capable citizens. We regard providing equal opportunity as being very important and there is a ‘happy family’ environment. There is equal opportunity for all as well as mutual encouragement to fully participate in all aspects of school life and work.
This school is a County Primary (Nursery/Infants/ Juniors Primary School). It is a community, daily, co-educational school for 3-11-year-olds. Ysgol Gymuned Penisarwaun is a Welsh Language medium school and pupils work hard to maintain its Welsh ethos and environment. Those of you whose children are part of a bilingual environment for the first time should not feel threatened or feel that you do not belong. Perhaps you do not speak Welsh (although many parents decide to learn the language), but that hopefully you will respect the language ethos here, an environment that enriches so much all aspects of the children’s learning experiences. We respect your right to use your preferred language and for that purpose, all school correspondence will be bilingual.
Should a child be absent from the school for whatever reason, parents or guardians are asked to contact the school to explain 09:00. The school will release a child to attend medical/dental appointments but parents are asked to return the child to school if possible. Parents are expected to make every reasonable effort not to take family holidays during school term. In such a situation, parents are expected to complete the appropriate form that is available from the school office. In special cases, permission will be given to take up to a fortnight’s holiday
