Gwynedd Education Authority operates a bilingual policy in all its schools and is also developing a bilingual policy for the Further Education establishments within the county. The aim is to develop the ability of pupils and students within the county to be confidently bilingual so that they can be full members of the bilingual society of which they are apart. All educational establishments within the county should reflect and reinforce the language policy in their administration, their social life and pastoral arrangements as well as their academic provision.
The school exists to celebrate the children's achievements and to develop them as individuals who appreciate their environment in its entirety. The development of moral and philanthropic values, as well as self–esteem, and tolerance towards others, is encouraged. We strive to ensure that each pupil feels happy and secure within a disciplined community, which puts great value in its life and work.
Importance is put on maintaining and raising children’s achievement standards, so that each individual is allowed to achieve his/her full potential, but it must be remembered that the school has a responsibility for more than just teaching children, which means that the children must be considered in their entirety, as unique beings with their own needs.
It is therefore also necessary to develop an appreciation of the moral, the mannerly, the physical, and the cultural, and an understanding of the inheritance, traditions, and language of the Welsh nation, and its place in, and relationship to the rest of the world. To achieve this, it is necessary to ensure that each child has equal opportunities across the curriculum. The children are offered a varied, balanced, and enriched curriculum, with real experiences of the highest possible quality. Teaching and learning techniques and resources of the highest possible quality are used, which encourage children to develop inquisitive and lively minds, the ability to question and to discuss sensibly, to solve problems, and to work independently.
We strive to do this within an open, welcoming, tasteful, happy, family, and homely environment and atmosphere. This results in children who are inspired and so that each child achieves his/her full potential, the children must be educated to take an active part in this process. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of listening to what children have to say, and that everyone gives each child his/her deserved attention, and that each child is allowed to react sensibly and with personal reasoning to varying audiences.
It is essential that each child and his/her ideas and produce be respected, by sharing their successes with others, by developing self-respect and confidence, and by setting an example of the highest possible quality. To achieve all this, it is necessary to prepare thoroughly, policies, whole school and class schemes, and teaching techniques, after consultation within and between the staff, governors, and LEA.
