At Maendy Primary School we want to inspire our whole school community to use Welsh language in all aspects of their school lives. We provide opportunities for learners to acquire the speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through the medium of Welsh during specific Welsh language lessons, as well as promoting the use of bilingualism across the curriculum.
We are supporting Welsh Government's target to have 50 million Welsh speakers by 2050.
