- At Melin Primary School we believe that the emotional wellbeing of the child, developed through a curriculum based on activity and experience, is at the heart of learning. We aim to provide a safe, caring, and stimulating learning environment across the Primary phase in which children are given the best opportunities to develop into independent literate, numerate, digitally competent, creative life-long learners so that they reach their potential. We work together with the adults in our children’s lives to ensure that they are safe, happy, and are empowered to make a change in their lives. Melin Primary School is a learning community of just over 240 pupils from Nursery to Year 6, teaching and support staff based on two sites in the Melincryddan area of Neath. The first school in Melincryddan was built in 1873 on the area currently occupied by the Key Stage Two site on Mile End Row. In 1893 the Foundation Phase site was first built as a secondary school. It was extensively remodeled in 1978 to accommodate the infant children. The Foundation Phase building has been continually updated through the years. Both sites offer a light, spacious and airy learning environment which benefits all styles of learners. The Melin Infant and Melin Junior schools amalgamated on September 1st, 2016 to form Melin Primary School. Both the Infant and Junior schools enjoyed playing an active part in the life of the community. The primary will be no different, keeping alive the traditions involving the community in the life of the school and playing a central role in the life of the community. Early childhood is an important time in a child’s life in which many of the habits and attitudes are formed that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. With this in mind, we have high expectations that encourage good habits and positive attitudes to learning that will enable the children to grow to be literate, numerate, digitally competent, and creative life-long learners who are happy, safe, and empowered within their community. They will have the skills to succeed and the belief that they can do so, as many who have attended these schools before they have. We believe in creating a caring, nurturing environment that provides a welcome to parents and values them as co-educators of their child. To do this, we have created an active learning curriculum, giving the children the widest possible range of experiences and the most enjoyment in their learning while developing their skills in readiness for them to move on to their secondary education at Cefn Saeson Comprehensive.
