The school offers a wide range of opportunities for its pupils, both as part of the curriculum and as extracurricular activities. We aim to provide children with the necessary skills, attitudes, and knowledge to equip them as learners for life. We have created a place where all pupils feel safe, happy, and are eager to learn. We have a great team of teachers and support staff who guide the children to make the most of their learning. We see education as a partnership between home and school and recognize that developing effective working relationships with parents and guardians is essential to meet the school’s aims.
We endeavor to ensure that all pupils have access to a wide and varied range of learning opportunities, for them to develop into independent and responsible young people and adults. Ysgol Pum Heol is a happy school, and this stems from the opportunities that are afforded to all. Participation and success in many endeavors enable pupils, staff, parents, governors, the community, and the Local Education Authority to be justifiably proud of their association with the school.
