Our School

Improving education is our national mission. Nothing is so essential as universal access to, and acquisition of, the experiences, knowledge and skills and that our young people need for employment, lifelong learning and active citizenship. 

Opportunities for learning within the Curriculum for Wales are organised in six Areas of Learning and Experiences:  Expressive Arts, Health and Well-being, Humanities, Languages, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy, & Science and Technology. Together these provide broad, meaningful and interconnected educational experiences for our learners as they progress towards the four purposes.

The  Four Purposes are the shared vision and aspiration for every child and young person. In fulfilling these, we set high expectations for all, promote individual and national well-being, tackle ignorance and misinformation, and encourage critical and civic engagement. 

A school’s curriculum is everything a learner experiences in pursuit of the four purposes. It is not simply what we teach, but how we teach and crucially, why we teach it.

Ultimately, the aim of our curriculum is to support our learners to become:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives

• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society

What greater way to commemorate Waldo Williams than to create our own portrait to proudly display at our school?

Pupils worked alongside the talented artist Nathan Wyburn for four days making unusual art by using a variety of materials to paint with. The final collage of Waldo Williams was created by using images of the children hard at work to create the final portrait.  Waldo’s portrait will be proudly displayed in our new school building.
