Work pattern


The aim is to try and ensure that the education provided enhances the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of each pupil and that the nature of the complete curriculum is varied, expansive and balanced. In order to fulfil these needs the class organisation will be flexible; work will sometimes be given according to the child's age, at other times children of different age groups, spanning more than one school year, will work together on one task. The children will be taught as a class unit in the care of one designated teacher.

In accordance with the Curriculum Council for Wales' proposal, the curriculum is planned on the basis of eight aspects of learning including the core and foundation subjects. The contribution of these subjects are noted systematically in the teacher's notes. By giving children tasks and experiences, based on specific themes, or on an inter-disciplinary basis, the school will seek to ensure that other essential elements of the curriculum are not forgotten.

Language Policy


General Aims

Gwynedd Education Authority operates a bilingual policy in all its schools and is also developing a bilingual policy for the Further Education establishments within the county.

The aim is to develop the ability of pupils and students within the county to be confidently bilingual in order that they can be full members of the bilingual society of which they are a part.

All educational establishments within the county should reflect and reinforce the language policy in their administration, their social life and pastoral arrangements as well as their academic provision.
