‘Ystrad Mynach Primary School is a caring and inclusive environment with shared values and respect for all. We aim to prepare children for a world of opportunity and excitement, with a love of learning and no fear of failure. We are   committed to raising standards  and will aim to achieve excellence in all that we do.’

To help all our children achieve their potential we would wish to:

• Create a happy and safe environment where all children are valued and cared for.

• Value parents and guardians and welcome them as partners in their child’s education.

• Develop our school as a community focused school with strong links to include the wider community.

• Provide a high quality education that will enable children to learn effectively and achieve high standards in all aspects of school life.

• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum which ensures a range of high quality learning experiences for children, equipping them with the necessary skills for lifelong learning.

• Enable all our children to develop a sense of self esteem and acquire a set of moral values that will ensure high standards of behaviour.

• Help all children become effective communicators.

• Ensure equal opportunity and access based upon the child’s individual need regardless of gender, faith, culture or economic background.

• Stimulate interest in our local and national Welsh heritage and help children know and understand the world in which they live.

• Help all our children develop an understanding of their own and other religions and to develop and demonstrate respect and tolerance towards other people's faith and culture.

• Ensure all children participate in physical activities and acquire skills to maintain healthy lifestyle choices.

• Expect and help all children to demonstrate courtesy, good manners, respect and consideration for others and their property.
