Every Year, school's across Wales will set out their priorities for the academic year. Some of these priorities will last longer than 1 academic year.  School priorities can be driven by many different things such as:

• National Guidance.

• Change in National Policy.

• School based evidence following lesson observations.

• School based evidence based on scrutiny of classwork.

• Catchment area similarities.

• Data collected from pupil or parents based questionnaires. 

• Data collected from school and national based testing

• Collection of views from pupils, parents and other stakeholders. 

to name a few.

Below, you will see the main priorities for the school for the year 2022-23. But please remember, the school's main priorities will never change, these are our every day things such as:

• Child wellbeing and safety

• High standards

• Development of the Welsh Language.

• Educational skills 

• Promoting good behaviour

• Empathy and tolerance towards one another

to name a only a few

Following a challenging period during the pandemic, our catchment area, for the first time, decided to create catchment area priorities as we all shared the same experience over the pandemic period. In addition, we all are accountable for the changes nationally regarding ALN and curriculum change. It was therefore a sensible approach, for our first full year back at school, to work in this was as a group of schools. 

Priority 1

• Raising the children's verbal, reading and writing standards

• Ensuring the prominent place of the Welsh curriculum in the school's plans.

• Promoting the Welsh culture

• Ensure that pupils lead the priority e.g. through the school council and questionnaires.

• A national priority to have more Welsh speakers.

• Lockdown periods have had an impact on the development of the Welsh language for a number of pupils.

Priority 2

Closing the gap through personal progress

• Children have lost direct experiences for a period of their primary education

• An opportunity to apply skills in a cross-curricular manner

• Promote learning areas

• Pupils are measured against their own progress instead of against other measurements. All to make good or very good progress.
