There are at present 104 full time (52boys, 52 girls) and 17 part time pupils in attendance at our school, accommodated in 6 class rooms. N 18 part time R 11 pupils Y1 12 pupils Y2 21 pupils Y3 15 pupils Y4 18 pupils Y5 14 pupils Y6 16 pupils The school is maintained by Neath Port Talbot Authority and the Director of Education, Mr. Aled Evans. Control of the school is exercised by the Governing Body, which is comprised of representatives from parents, teachers, local Council representatives and local co-opted members. It has the responsibility for all decisions concerning the life of the school. The Headteacher of the school since January 2017 is Mrs. Melanie Teague. 6 Start of the School Session and Lesson Time All pupils are required to be present in school by 8.50. Nursery begin at 8:40. The times set aside for teaching during the school day are as follows: Nursery 8:40am to 11:10am Reception to Year 6. 8:50am to 12:00pm 1.00pm to 3:20pm Attendance In order for your child to gain the best possible education he/she must attend school regularly. We expect children to attend school every day unless they are unwell or attending a medical appointment. If your child will not be attending school, we request that you notify the school by 9 am so that the absence can be logged. We work very closely with the school’s Attendance and Wellbeing Officer (AWO) Mrs. Jayne Bradley, to ensure pupils attend regularly. If a child fails to attend school regularly parents will receive a letter from the school and also a visit from the AWO. School Meals Cooked school dinners are provided in our school kitchen.

Foundation Phase parents are encouraged to help their children with activities sent home by the class teacher e.g. reading practice or number work, and planned home tasks which are part of each term's theme For older pupils homework is just one of the ways in which we seek to foster this partnership, as homework encompasses a whole variety of activities instigated by teachers and parents to support children’s learning. Parents are welcome to speak to the class teacher or Headteacher if they have any concerns about their child. Parents are encouraged to attend Meet the Teacher evenings, Next Steps in Learning Meetings, IEP review meetings and class presentations. Creunant Primary School Parents Teachers and Friends Association The Parents Teachers and Friends’ Association extends a warm welcome to all new parents. We are fortunate to have a hard working and enthusiastic group of parents who help organise a variety of events during the school year. The officers are as follows: Chair: Mrs. Ceri Willcox Vice Chair: Mrs. Alison Thomas Secretary: Mrs. L. Terry Treasurer: Mrs. D. Lewis The objectives of the association are to: Encourage social links between all those associated with the school. To raise funds to purchase materials for the school. To promote and support activities concerned with the education and welfare of children in the school. 9 Many successful activities have been organised with the support of parents at the school and the committee are always willing to receive offers of help with activities and ideas for future events. In order to ensure continuing success for the future, please support our endeavours. The Curriculum It is through the curriculum that the teachers at Creunant Primary School attempt to fulfill our aims. The curriculum encompasses all the teaching and learning which takes place both in and out of the classroom. We offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced, and we acknowledge that not all children develop at the same rate. Therefore we actively attempt to match the tasks given to each child with his/her stage of development. We follow a themed curriculum called “Corner Stones” which ensures all skills are covered progressively throughout the school. From September 2013 all school in Wales follow the Literacy and Numeracy Framework (learninwales.gov.uk) The Curriculum in all schools in Wales is currently divided as follows: Nursery– Foundation Phase Reception– Foundation Phase Year 1 and 2– Foundation Phase Years 3 to 6—Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum for Wales 10 The Foundation Phase The Foundation Phase is a curriculum for 3 to 7-year-olds. What will children learn? The curriculum for the Foundation Phase builds on the Desirable Outcomes for Children’s Learning Before Compulsory School Age and includes aspects of the guidance for Key Stage 1 to form a new curriculum. The new curriculum has been developed under seven Areas

  • Neath Port Talbot Welsh Language Promotion Strategy
    Neath Port Talbot Welsh Language Promotion Strategy This document is also available in Welsh Introduction The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, passed by the National Assembly for Wales, modernised the existing legal framework regarding the use of the Welsh language in the delivery of public services. The 2011 Measure also included: • giving the Welsh Language official status in Wales meaning that Welsh should be treated no less favourably than the English language; • establishing the role of the Welsh Language Commissioner who has responsibility for promoting the Welsh language and improving the opportunities people have to use it; • creating a procedure for introducing duties in the form of language standards that explain how organizations are expected to use the Welsh language and create rights for Welsh speakers; • making provision regarding promoting and facilitating the use of the Welsh language and increasing its use in everyday life; • making provision regarding investigating an interference with the freedom to use the Welsh language. The Measure gives the Welsh Language Commissioner authority to impose duties on a wide range of organisations to provide services in Welsh, to mainstream the language into policy development, and to develop strategies with regard to increasing the use of Welsh at work. The Welsh Language Commissioner issued Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, along with all other local authorities in Wales, with a Compliance Notice under Section 44 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. The Compliance Notice contained 171 Welsh Language Standards the Council had to comply with in respect of the delivery of Welsh language services. A range of standards relating to service delivery, policy making, operational, promotion and record keeping, were applied to the Council.
