The children succeeded in raising awareness of what is possible through encouragement and co-operation.

The school would particularly like to thank the parents, carers and friends who supported the event: a fitting tribute to this caring community.

Hello Parents, Pamffled Manteision Cymraeg: We are Sbarc and Seren. You are sure to see a lot of us http://bit.ly/YBHSICY around the school over the coming months. We are the official characters for the Welsh Language Charter. What is the Welsh Language Charter? The main aim of the charter is to create an increase in the children’s social use of Welsh. We want to inspire our children and young people to use Welsh in every aspect of their lives. The Welsh Language Charter asks for a contribution from every member of the school community – the pupils, the school council, the staff, the parents, the governors and the community. What are the advantages of the Charter? Raising the standard of the children’s spoken Welsh will have a positive effect on their educational attainment. Research shows that bilingual children achieve better results. We are enthusiastic to work with all parents to raise the amount of Welsh spoken in the school. Keep your eyes peeled for exciting events in the very near future.
