The Labour government’s aim was to make the life skills lessons part of the compulsory curriculum for 2011, but they were required to downsize the legislation to get it through Parliament before the general election. In response to a need identified during my teaching in schools, I have devised, through practice, a creative-performative pedagogy to teach aspects of a pastoral programme. The pedagogy is informed by theories of drama and creativity, making use of concepts, metaphors and symbols from religions, cultures and science. This thesis presents a critical overview of the theatre practitioners, scholars, religions, trans-and inter-cultural influences, which have contributed to the evolution of the pedagogy and its process. The pastoral care system in schools will be overviewed, including concerns regarding the status of pastoral education and its teaching in secondary schools. The shortcomings in the pastoral system will be outlined, along with suggestions for effective classroom practice and methods for assessment. The role of spirituality is investigated with the way which the pedagogy has been shaped by some of the pastoral elements found in communities of faith. The thought process linked to a certain element in a particular religion will be focused on, fostering a spiritual dimension to the practice. The thesis gives an account of how the pedagogy was used in schools but does not propose that this is necessarily best practice to explore issues. However, such a pedagogy can help to raise a student’s awareness of the issue explored and improve a learner’s self-confidence. Suggestions are presented as to how to develop pastoral education in the future with opportunities for international collaboration.

    ADMISSIONS POLICY (2019 - 2020) Ysgol Bryn Elian Admissions Policy 2019-2020 Page 1 For admission in 2019/2020 This policy is drafted in accordance with the Welsh Assembly statutory guidance ‘School Admissions Code 005 / 2013’. Ysgol Bryn Elian will act in accordance with the School Admissions Code and the School Admissions Appeal Code when determining applications for admission to the School. In addition Ysgol Bryn Elian will, in its admissions arrangements, seek to work co-operatively with the Education Department of Conwy County Borough Council to secure school places for children in Conwy. Each school has an overall capacity which is calculated in accordance with the Welsh Government guidelines. The methods used are set out within the Welsh Government Circular 021/2011 - Measuring the Capacity of Schools in Wales. At Ysgol Bryn Elian, the overall capacity for the school has been calculated at 896 pupils. The overall capacity is in turn used to calculate the admission number, which will determine the maximum number of pupils that should be admitted to each year group. The admission number reflects the school’s ability to accommodate pupils and should therefore only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances. It would not be appropriate to exceed the admission number of a school where there are places available at a suitable alternative school which is within reasonable travelling distance of the pupil’s home address. The admission number for Year 7 at Ysgol Bryn Elian is 163. Application procedure Prospectuses and application forms for admission in September 2019 will be available from 10/9/18. Application forms will be provided to all primary schools listed later in this policy.

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.
