We are a large, happy, and diverse community school with over 370 pupils on roll. We enjoy being at the heart of the Cardiff suburb of Llanedeyrn and we relish the excitement and challenges that being a school in the Welsh capital city brings. We strongly believe that ‘Together we can all succeed’ and this vision is the driving force every day. We want all of our pupils to achieve the standards that they are capable of. We have high expectations for all groups of learners including pupils with special educational needs, more able pupils, and pupils who speak English as an additional language. We recognize that the school needs to work with every member of the Llanedeyrn community to support us in delivering these principles daily. The Governing Body, school staff, pupils, parents, members of the local community, businesses, religious groups, the local High School, and external agencies have to communicate and work together to deliver the education all of our children deserve. We have a strong focus on improving the standards of pupils. We seek to improve pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills so that when they leave us in Year 6, they can read and use numbers beyond the average Year 6 pupil. This will put them at an advantage when they arrive at High School. However, we want to develop the ‘whole child. We develop strong personal and social skills in pupils so they can get along with each other and recognize the feelings of others. We allow children opportunities to develop artistically through music and art lessons. We provide physical activities throughout the day and teach pupils about healthy living. We run a breakfast club and many other extracurricular clubs. We are a computer literate school, using pads to support and enhance the children’s learning. As well as having an 80 place nursery, we also host two Special Resource Bases. On these bases, we have pupils for whom full-time mainstream schooling is not applicable. We are very proud to house these bases and the pupils within them benefit enormously from being part of a mainstream school. Also, the mainstream pupils’ attitudes to disability are mature and considerate. This demonstrates our aim to support and educate all of our pupils. Our vision is to create a unique, forward-thinking school that sets and achieves high standards for its learners whilst recognizing its responsibilities to the wider community. We strive to ensure that everyone within the school is happy, healthy, safe, and successful, ensuring equality of opportunity for all. Our school is special because parents, staff, governors, and the community work alongside one another to give all children the opportunities to develop their full potential. At Llanedeyrn, our vision is to enable all our staff and pupils to be confident, competent, and independent users of ICT. We aim to use ICT when appropriate, to motivate and inspire pupils toward raised standards across the curriculum. We will develop pupils’ ICT skills, knowledge, understanding, and capability through taught IT lessons and the provision of opportunities for pupils to apply and consolidate their ICT capability across all curriculum contexts. Our school values the contribution that ICT can make for the benefit of all pupils, staff, and parents, and governors. To this end, the school ethos actively promotes and utilizes ICT opportunities across the whole school structure, with the emphasis on the promotion of learning and teaching. It is our policy to keep abreast of new and innovative practices View full school
