- Ysgol Morfa Nefyn is a school for infants and children up to Year 3 (ages 3 - 8). We hope that the children will spend the first years of their education in a happy and homely environment, developing educationally and socially. Our school building, built-in 1982 is situated on one floor, making it suitable for children with physical disabilities. This modern building has been adapted for Foundation Phase children. We are fortunate in that the school is located on grounds that provide plenty of opportunities for learning and outdoor activities. We strive to ensure that pupils receive a variety of interesting and relevant experiences in a safe and friendly atmosphere, so that they may become independent and responsible citizens. We endeavor to maintain a happy environment that nurtures lively, enthusiastic, and inquisitive children. We as teachers must co-operate closely with you, the parents, to ensure the best education for the children. This school believes that a happy and open relationship between the home and school is important. Parents are invited to take an active interest in the education of their children and to nurture a healthy link between the school and home. There are several occasions to which we invite parents and several social activities to allow parents to become acquainted with the school and staff. Parents are invited to the school three times during the academic year. In the autumn term, appointments are made for parents to meet their child’s new teacher and to discuss targets for the year. The Reception Year teacher will have an additional talk with parents about the Foundation Phase. During the second term, parents will be invited to an ‘Open Day’ to observe their child in his/her classroom environment and see their work. During the Summer term appointments are made for parents to discuss the results of any standardized tests conducted and to give their child new targets. We often ask for parents’ support to provide transport to local events. Please do not be put out if we ask volunteers to complete a CRB check – this is a legal requirement. We appreciate your support and co-operation. View full school
- This school is part of the Council’s Healthy School Scheme and has received the highest award, namely the National Quality Award. The Gwynedd Healthy School Scheme is managed in partnership with the National Public Health Service of Wales, Gwynedd Council, and the Local Health Board. The scheme enables schools to make a positive contribution towards the health and well-being of their pupils, teachers, and the wider community by developing an environment that promotes health. The school is part of the County’s Green Schools scheme that promotes care of the local and worldwide environment. The scheme aims to teach this to children as a sustainable ‘way of life for the future. The school has also been awarded the highest accolade in this field. We have received the ‘Eco Schools’ accreditation. We take pride in our close relationship with the community. We work closely with the Town Council and Local Councillor to ensure that the children have input into the development of their area. We aim to: Enable each individual to gain information, attitudes, and skills that are relevant to life in a rapidly-changing world, to have access to continuous learning, and to make creative use of leisure. Encourage a link between this school and other schools, industry, and commerce to develop the child’s understanding of the economic life of the area. Encourage the school to promote links with the local community and society in general by taking part in voluntary and community activities. Include an element of leisure activities in the educational experience of each child so that they can use their leisure hours creatively and for a purpose. The behavior of the children at Nefyn is excellent. As a consequence, they are rewarded with golden time on Friday afternoons. The children will get to choose from several nice activities such as playing games, drawing pictures, etc. On the rare occasions when children choose not to stick to the golden rules, they will lose 5 minutes of golden time. However, the child can regain these 5 minutes by displaying effort and behaving as he/she should. If a child’s behavior doesn’t improve we may use alternative strategies such as loss of playtime. In some severe circumstances, we might contact parents to discuss a matter. View full school
