At present, the children of Ystruth Primary School follow schemes and programs of work that comply with the Foundation Phase and the National Curriculum. Children aged 3 to 7 follow the Foundation Phase and from 7 to 11 they follow the National Curriculum. We are presently a Pioneer School. We have been selected by the Welsh Government to develop and trial the new curriculum which has been planned for all Welsh schools following the Successful Futures report by Professor Donaldson. A broad-based curriculum has been devised to provide all children with a wide range of experiences to stimulate their interest and imagination. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and numeracy skills through well-defined programs of work and activities. Thematic work develops subject-specific skills but is designed to develop the acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills in line with the Literacy and Numeracy Framework. In addition and in line with the Successful Futures report, we are developing what we provide in thematic work to include ‘rich tasks’ which incorporate several skills from different curriculum areas in the completion of a given task. Most parents want a good education for their children but they also want them to be happy, feel safe, and secure. At Ystruth Primary we believe we can offer all these things. We pride ourselves on the opportunities we provide as your youngsters progress through the school. The high standards of teaching and learning are a credit to the hard work of both staff and pupils. We are proud of the atmosphere of inclusion, friendliness, and co-operation which is always evident. Many visitors to the school comment on the warm welcome they receive and the politeness and maturity of our pupils. We have an open-door policy in school and welcome parents and carers. We believe a strong partnership between school and home is vital for your child. Staff members are always willing to help parents and keep them informed about progress in well-being and academic matters. Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
