Ysgol Gymunedol Craig yr Wylfa

[EduCativ]

The school is situated on the cliff in Borth looking out on Cardigan Bay where we have glorious views of our County, Ceredigion.
The happiness and well-being of our pupils are of paramount importance and are at the heart of our day-to-day life in Ysgol Craig Yr Wylfa. We aim to achieve the highest standard of education in a safe, exciting, and inspiring environment and to ensure that every child fulfills their maximum potential. We have two classrooms situated on the campus –The Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2 classes. There is also a “Ysgol Feithrin Nursery” located on-site which is open every morning.
We pride ourselves on delivering an inclusive, challenging, and exciting learning experience to all our children, and a balanced range of National Curriculum based activities is offered. An emphasis is placed on basic literacy and numeracy skills and we also follow aspects of the Skills Framework which highlights ICT, Communication, Number, and Problem Solving Skills in our schemes of work. Implementing Assessment for Learning techniques and listening to the voice of the learner is very important to us. Good discipline and manners are a priority and it is expected that each member of our school community adheres closely to the school’s discipline policy.
We offer a wide variety of activities in and out of school hours, such as sporting events, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, day trips, residential visits, instrumental lessons, and many more. Also, we are proud to offer a range of After School Clubs regularly, including Cookery Club, Sports Club, and Urdd Club. Breakfast Club is available every morning between 08:15 am and 08:45 am. We are a happy and caring community and are proud of the caring nature and mutual respect that the children show to each other.
To ensure that all efforts are rewarded, the Charter is based on the principle that every school follows challenging but attainable targets in connection with promoting the use of the Welsh language. The specific targets included in the Language Charter can form part of a school’s Welsh Development Plan. By identifying success criteria for each target - we have prepared an Implementation Programme that every school should be able to complete successfully (see Appendix). The Language Charter is based on steps that are deemed to be good practice, and that every school should therefore be able to implement. Achieving these initial goals in the first year will ensure a bronze award for the school. The aim is to achieve the gold award over three years.
