- The purpose of this handbook is to provide an insight into the philosophy, ethos, and work of this school. It was designed primarily for parents, but can be helpful to others who are interested and need information. If you would like more information you can contact the Headteacher. A good relationship between parents and school is essential for the success of the work and interests of the children. You will be formally invited to come to the school to look at your child's work once a term to discuss their work programs and targets with your child’s teacher for the year. You are also welcome to come to school at any other time to discuss anything relating to the children, but you are asked to arrange the time beforehand. This is a daily special school for children with special educational needs, some with severe and multi-impaired. The age range of children is from 3-19 years old. It is a Welsh school and one which concentrates upon developing the ‘communication’ skills of its pupils. It is a bilingual school naturally. The aim is to create an environment that reflects the attempt to reach high standards in terms of values, attitudes, and educational experiences. The aim is to offer a broad and balanced education which is also challenging in its nature. The ambition is to create the best situation where the individual can develop their potential in all aspects so they can feel that they have just as much to contribute to their society as others do. To achieve the above, the aim is to create an intimate atmosphere where the individual can feel safe and positive within the school’s social and know the boundaries in which they can work. When receiving praise for succeeding at something, the pupils learned how to show respect and self-confidence towards others as well as for themselves. Every success, however small, receives praise and is given recognition, which through the imagination and curiosity of the individual, in turn, leads to more success. The school aims to offer educational experiences that are relevant to the needs and maturity of the individual. The experiences and interests of staff are utilized as well as outside experiences to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum, which also creates appropriate challenges to the pupil. View full school

- Ysgol Pen Barras is a Welsh-medium County Primary School with some 260 pupils between the ages of three and eleven. The school, located on Ffordd Glasdir, Rhuthun, is an extremely successful school, which sets high standards, and endeavors to develop children in a stimulating yet homely environment, providing opportunities for pupils to fulfill their potential. We endeavor to provide a balanced, rich curriculum and a wide range of experiences to develop each child as an individual and prepare him/her for their journey through life. We aim to educate pupils so that they become bilingual and therefore develop ‘two windows to the world’. When admitted to the school they will be carefully nurtured into the Welsh environment. Welsh is the official school language and pupils are prepared for this situation. A paid care provision called ‘Clwb Ffrindiau Bach’ is arranged by the school in the afternoon, so that pupils in the Nursery in the morning may develop their education through the medium of Welsh. The school is particularly homely and happy and is active and an important part of the wider community. Ysgol Pen Barras has an active and enthusiastic PTA and is regarded as being essential to the life and success of the school. The Association is proud of the professionalism of the staff and the lively interest shown by parents in all aspects of the school’s work. The main purpose of the Association is to raise money which can be used to buy resources for the school, essential resources - without which the school would not succeed to the same degree. Each contribution is a direct investment in the education and the future of our children, and your support to assist in any way is most welcome. Aims: To create a Welsh environment and atmosphere whereby pupils will be able to develop and mature to become confident individuals, who are also aware of the welfare of others and are responsible members of society. To offer an education of the highest quality possible which reflects the requirements of the Authority, the Government, the society, and the individual. To enable each pupil to develop his ability in both Welsh and English, so that he/she plays a full part in the social and cultural life of the bilingual community. To promote the development and understanding of the Welsh heritage. To develop within them respect towards the world in which they live, including, on a general level, European and International dimensions, and most especially in the context of their local area and environment. To nurture in the pupils a sensitivity towards their relationships with others by ensuring that they understand the nature of their society, that they are aware of other people’s rights and their responsibilities. We will endeavor to ensure that they respect their fellow citizens, realizing their value and their place in society. To prepare pupils for the world in which they will live and work by developing their ITC skills across the Curriculum. Work alongside the pupils to ensure that they achieve their expected levels in Welsh, English, Mathematics, and Science by promoting higher standards and eliminating under-achievement.
