Ysgol San Sior

[EduCativ]

Ysgol San Siro is a Church Aided County Primary School (Infants / Juniors) established in 1856. Recognizing its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character by the principles of the Church in Wales and partnership with the Church at the parish and diocesan level.
The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils. We have 175 families in our school (245 children) 17 Nationalities are represented at the school, while 17% of our children speak another language other than Welsh. If any parent or carer has additional needs relating to disability and/or language, cultural issues with which they require assistance at a particular school event, please contact the Headteacher at the school to arrange the assistance requested
At San Siro, we balance the demands of the curriculum while giving children the opportunities to have as many first-hand experiences as possible. At Ysgol San Sior we provide a stimulating and challenging curriculum, empowering children to think for themselves and to exceed their expectations realizing the limitations of the classroom as a learning environment and the opportunities that the wider environment holds.
Our surroundings provide a rich and diverse learning environment that complements the work of the indoor classroom. The school goldfish has been replaced by chameleons, chickens, tortoises, geckos of every variety, and exotic frogs the size of saucers. We aim to equip all pupils including the next generation of Steve Backshalls, David Attenboroughs, and Iolo Williamses with the skills and knowledge to allow them to become responsible and active citizens as they proceed onto the next stage of their education.
Our school is quite unusual in that we have many different school creatures. When we buy creatures we always check that they were bred in captivity and were not collected from the wild. Whenever we can we try and breed the animals ourselves. We have successfully bred chameleons, tiger-crested geckos, and leopard geckos. Next to each of the school creatures is a small map to show where it is from.
