This School Provides Education That Assists the Children to Achieve Their This school provides education that assists the children to achieve their full potential and strive to become fully independent within a homely, sustainable, kind, equal status environment. Information About the School Name of the school: Felinwnda Primary School Telephone number: 01286 830017 E-mail: [email protected] Web site address: www.ysgolfelinwnda.cymru Follow us on: Facebook & Twitter Headteacher: Miss Carys Wyn Thomas B.Ed. Teachers: Mr Neil Wynne Thomas & Miss Mared Haf Roberts Chairman of the governors: Mr Barry Jones 2 Uwch Menai, Saron (01286 830750) Type of School Ysgol Felinwnda, being a small rural school, can describe itself as having a happy and friendly environment where the children have an important role in the day-to-day arrangements. Each child is given the opportunity to develop according to his or her own ability and receive the utmost support that the teachers can offer. The school is divided into two classes, Miss Roberts is in charge of Nursery, Reception, Year 1, 2 and 3 whilst Year 4, 5 and Year 6 are taught by Mr Thomas. This division is not rigidly adhered to because the staff exchange classes so as to fully utilise the teachers’ strengths and so as to enable the children to receive the best possible education. It is the school’s belief that parents play a crucial role in their child’s development, and consequently an open door policy exists here, an arrangement by which following obtaining an appointment, parents may visit the school at any time to discuss their children’s development. One parent recently described Ysgol Felinwnda as “a Family School”, and that is exactly the aim and objective of staff and governors, namely to ensure that the children feel secure and confident thus enabling them to develop.

To enable every pupil to become fluent in both Welsh and English so that they may participate in both the social and cultural life of the bilingual community. "... fluent in both Welsh and English ..." - follow the County's Language Policy, provide them with an opportunity to discuss and work using their second language, take advantage of practical opportunities such as having an English visitor from time to time as the theme requires or a need for specialisation so that children receive a broad and well- balanced curriculum. 6.

Create flexible arrangements so as to ensure that pupils may take full advantage of the specialisation of members of staff. "Ensure cohesion and balance... “work on a whole school theme, teachers share responsibilities and these are to be followed weekly and are set out on the school's sheet. That children and teachers are aware that there are no definite boundaries to any class i.e. doors are open between both classrooms. School Rules 1. Children are admitted full time to the school in September following their fourth birthday. Children are admitted to the school in September, on a part time basis, following their third birthday. 2.

  • Welsh European Funding Officecross Cutting Themes Equal
    Welsh European Funding Office Cross Cutting Themes Environmental Sustainability Fact sheet ESF Programmes What are the Cross Cutting Themes? In Wales, to qualify for European Structural Funds under the 2007-2013 program projects must incorporate actions to address the Cross Cutting Themes (CCTs) which are considered essential for the achievement of a well balanced, sustainable and innovative economy. Environmental Sustainability is one of two CCTs integrated into the 2007-2013 Structural Fund Programmes (the other theme being Equal Opportunities). The delivery of the CCTs will differ across programmes and within projects. Objectives and associated indicators and targets have been set to deliver on the themes but outcomes can also be delivered outside of the indicators and these are captured through project and programme evaluation. In most instances, the mainstreaming of the CCTs adds value to the main activity of the project, i.e. through ‘horizontal integration’, but they can also be the focus of the activity i.e. through ‘vertical integration’. This is the case with some environmental projects and projects with specific target groups or outcomes. The inclusion of environmental sustainability as a cross-cutting theme is a crucial element to ensure that programmes and operations meet the environmental objectives simultaneously. A high quality, attractive environment plays a key role in enticing and retaining people to live and work in Wales, as well as providing the quality of life for Welsh residents. Why have fact sheets? Many project sponsors and deliverers of activity have asked for examples and ideas of how other projects have integrated the CCTs. This factsheet concentrates on the opportunities some projects have developed to integrate the CCTs and add value to the main activity of the project and will hopefully act as an aid to others carrying out similar activity.

It includes an assessment of impacts on pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and vehicular travellers. The following policies and plans are considered relevant to the Scheme in relation to this Chapter: 12.1.1 National and Regional Policies and Plans The Wales Transport Strategy (One Wales: Connecting the Nation) The Wales Transport Strategy (One Wales: Connecting the Nation) places high emphasis on the promotion of sustainable transport networks that safeguard the environment while strengthening the country’s economic and social life. Promotion of walking and cycling is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts, which is one of the priorities of the Strategy. Improving access between key settlements and sites, integrating local transport, enhancing international connectivity and increasing safety and security are also priorities of the Strategy, which relate to all travellers. The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 completed its passage through the National Assembly for Wales in October 2013 and came into force in 2014. The purpose of the Act is to require local authorities to continuously improve facilities and routes for pedestrians and cyclists and to prepare maps identifying current and potential future routes for their use. In relation to the Scheme, the Bill specifically makes provision for: ‘requiring the Welsh Ministers and local authorities, in constructing and improving highways, to have regard to the desirability of enhancing the provision made for walking and cycling’.
