At Llangewydd every child is special and every child is encouraged to contribute in many ways to the life of the school. We aim to ensure that every child maximizes their potential both within the classroom and in the many after-school clubs that take place each day. As a school, we aim to deliver a quality curriculum with as many opportunities for active learning as possible.
Our children will require a very wide range of skills as they grow up and we must work with parents and carers in ensuring our children acquire these skills along with the detailed programs of study we provide for the development of knowledge and understanding for the 21st Century.
The partnership is very important to us as a school. We enjoy meeting with the parents and carers of our children and would like to stress that you are very welcome to contact the school at any time to meet me or a member of staff to discuss any issues relating to your child or the school.
Our school is a happy school with visitors commenting on the warmth and politeness of our pupils. Staff is proud of our children and we know that as your child begins the next phase of their education at Llangewydd Junior School they will receive many experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives. We wish your child every happiness and success in our school and look forward to working with you over the coming years.
Our primary purpose is to enhance the children's quality of learning through the effective and efficient delivery of the curriculum. We believe that our first responsibility is to our clients, to meet their needs and to provide outstanding value.
