The curriculum also covers:
• human rights
• diversity and respecting differences
• experiences and skills for careers and the workplace
• learning about local, national and international contexts
• developmentally appropriate relationships and sexuality education.
Teachers plan learning using a largely skills-driven approach, underpinned by the Literacy and
Numeracy framework (LNF) and the Digital Competence Framework (DCF). Wherever possible,
subjects are linked through cross curriculum themes, and pupils themselves are encouraged to
identify areas they wish to know more about. A variety of teaching methods are employed to
encourage pupils to become independent learners, and children are given opportunities to study
through a range of whole class, groups, paired and individual activities.
Most of our teaching is done through the medium of English.
However, Welsh is taught in all classes including use of incidental
Welsh throughout the school. Pupils are encouraged to speak
Welsh with their peers and other adults, supported by a
structured progression of
words and phrases. Welsh
Language is promoted in
classes through choice of literature and display. Welsh
songs and prayers feature in assemblies and displays
highlight relevant Welsh phrases and words. We give
pupils the opportunity to experience Welsh culture and heritage wherever possible. Our annual
school Eisteddfod is used to promote Cwricwlwm Cymreig and pupils take part in a number of
competitions through the medium of both Welsh and English. We currently hold our Bronze
Siarter Iath Award and are working towards our silver.
