Review of Policies, Procedures and Strategies All Policies & Procedures are reviewed by the Governing Body when required. School Strategies are reflected in our Policies & Procedures and Post Inspection Action Plan. School Prospectus Our school prospectus can be viewed and downloaded from our website: www.cwmbranhighschool.co.uk Hard copies are also available from the school. Premises The tennis court have been refurbished to provide a new multi-use games area. The food tech room has been refurbished to provide a state of the art food tech- nology teaching area. The lower school roof has been renewed. 6 Use of the Welsh Language All of our teaching is in English, but we try to use Welsh as much as possible to encour- age bilingualism and to increase the employability of our pupils. The Cwricwlwm Cymreig forms part of the work of all curriculum areas. Welsh Phrase of the Week A ‘Welsh Phrase of the Week’ is printed in our weekly staff Bulletin for staff to use with pupils at every given opportunity. This is closely linked with our ‘Thought for the Day’ programme used during Assemblies and Registration Periods. Healthy School Initiative We encourage a whole school community approach to food and fitness. The Head- teacher, Staff and Governing Body ensure that food provided in school, and advice given to pupils, promotes a healthy and active lifestyle. We are committed to providing high quality PE lessons and health related exercise, and we work in partnership with Healthy Schools, Hearty Lives Programme, PESS, 5x60 and other Community Sports organisations. The school takes every opportunity to encourage fitness and wellbeing by incorporating a number of the above programmes in our Health and Wellbeing Day (Sports Day) each year. Healthy School Objectives: To promote pupil participation and decision making in all aspects of food and fitness activities. To ensure that activities related to food and fitness, provided for pupils through- out the day, are consistent with curriculum guidance and Welsh Government regulations. To work in partnership with School Meal Providers, to ensure that consistent messages about nutritional standards and healthy lifestyles are given to our pupils. To offer a broad range of safe, stimulating indoor and outdoor sports, play and recreational activities. 7 School Trips A number of school trips took place during 2016 / 2017 MFL Paris Trip Ski trip to Bardonecchia, Italy University Visits PGL - Maths Residential Revision Trips English Revision Weekend Welsh trip to Llangrannog Youth Speaks Public Speaking Competition University/College taster days Geography fieldtrips Reward trips 8 Community Links & Pupil Engagement Families First We have a growing number of pupils and families supported by this organisation which promotes the development of personal skills and allows access for work with counsellors and education psychology. Communities First Communities First provide a target group of Key Stage 3 pupils with personal development skills, most specifically dealing with conflict and self-esteem. CHS Deaf Choir Performances Cwmbran High School Deaf Choir have continued to perform throughout the academic year. Last November they performed on the pitch during the pre-game celebrations for the Wales v Australia rugby game at the Principality Stadium. After their popularity with Aneurin Bevan Health Board events last year they were invited to perform at a training day during the summer term. The Choir also entertained at the Gaer Community Centre, Cwmbran Shopping Centre and local nursing homes. They have more events planned and enjoy visiting different places, teaching some BSL along the way. Youth Speaks Competition Ieuan Cooke, Megan Alys Jones and Emily Jones all took part in the Cwmbran Rotary Youth Speaks competition this term. Although they came runner-up, they had some great feedback from the judges. Their topic was ‘Is the Criminal Justice System just?’ The best news of the night was seeing the award of ’Best Chair’ presented to Emily Jones. Remembrance Service Ieuan Cooke, Ben Wolverson & Max Griffiths all volunteered to support Cwmbran Community Council’s Remem- brance Service on Sunday 13th November. They all provided valuable assistance in ensuring the smooth running of the event; their responsibilities included handing out the ‘Order of Service’ and ensuring those attended knew where to go. Ieuan read a piece, in Welsh, to the congregation and all three pupils were a credit to the school. Christmas Jumper Day The Sixth Form Charity Leader and other Sixth Form students organised a Christmas Jumper Day on the last day on term.

Monmouthshire’s Vision for Welsh in Education 2017- 2020 1.1 Our new Welsh in Education Strategic Plan for 2017-2020 comes at a very opportune for the Welsh language in our county. In 2016, Monmouthshire hosted the National Eisteddfod for the first time in over 100 years. The enthusiasm with which the county, its people and businesses seized the opportunity to promote and embrace this unique festival has provided us with the ideal momentum to build a legacy by playing our part in achieving the Welsh Government vision of seeing one million Welsh speakers across the country, by 2050 1.2 Twenty-five years ago the proportion of people speaking Welsh in the country was at an all-time low and there was precious little to indicate that the fortunes of the language would ever revive in the area. However, in the years following, the language has revived remarkably and in that time we have seen a four-fold increase with the 2011 census showing that 8,780 Monmouthshire residents are fluent Welsh speakers with many thousands of others having some level of language skill.
