Primary As a parent myself, I know there are many factors that can influence our decisions about our children’s education.

We promote the wearing of school uniform. Our uniform consists of a red sweatshirt and a white/red/navy polo shirt. We would prefer children to wear plain grey or black trousers/skirts/jogging bottoms. Uniform is available at J&S Sports, Tycoch and Nash Sports, Sketty.

Children are discouraged from wearing jewellery in school, particularly earrings which are considered dangerous in P.E. and Games lessons. Valuables are brought to school at the child’s own risk. Homework / Tasks

Weekly homework is given from Year 3 through to Year 6. In the Foundation Phase teachers may give homework sheets or set tasks that can be completed by the children with help from an adult, e.g. collecting objects beginning with a particular letter blend.

Nylon wallets, marked with our logo are on sale from J&S Sports. These encourage the children to keep their homework books and reading books secure.

We believe that parents can develop a partnership with us in their child's development. Parents are always welcome to contact the school to discuss any aspects of work which has been set for their child.

We endorse the recommended reading schedule promoted by the National Assembly and the Basics Skills Agency. It is as follows:

We visit the local church for our Harvest Festival and our Christmas carol service. We have worked with the church on charitable projects. We regularly welcome visitors from The Linden Christian Centre, Alan John and John Sampson, who take school assemblies. Alan John has also worked with the children by producing DVDs for a history project. We work closely with the Mumbles Community Council and get involved in many of their projects; these have included the annual Dragon parade, Mumbles in Bloom and a salad making competition working alongside chefs from local restaurants. The children visit the Local home for the elderly throughout the year to sing songs and entertain the residents. Our School Council have visited the council chambers to see how meetings are run. We use local shops and businesses whenever possible for buying plants and resources for gardening and cooking projects. Several members of the community attend the school weekly to help children with reading. The community Police Officer visits the school every term to work on PSE projects. We are fortunate to live and work in such an area. We make full use of the natural resources by taking the children on weekly outings to the parks and the beach, where they engage in activities which support all areas of the curriculum. At Mayals we are committed to nurturing our existing links and developing new relationships within the community.
