Bilingualism - Dwyieithrwydd

The school is in the English speaking area of the county and is classed as an English medium school with Welsh taught as a second language.  The school has adopted the Pembrokeshire Scheme of Work for Welsh as a second language and has achieved the Siarter Iaith Bronze Award. Staff and pupils are encouraged to use Welsh as part of their everyday language in school.  We aim to develop the use of the language and to provide a relevant context for the teaching of it.  Children develop their skills in speaking, reading and writing through activities and games, as well as reading and weekly writing in Welsh in Key Stage Two.   Children are encouraged to be proud of their Welsh heritage and to respect the cultural identity of all children in school through a cross-curricular approach, especially through Geography, History, Art and Music.  We focus on our similarities and shared beliefs.
