Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna

Treganna opened its doors in 1987 to 15 reception age pupils and a small year 1 class. There were two members of staff and 30 pupils. In September 2013 we opened our new building with over 50 members of staff and nearly 500 hundred children. Although the facilities at Treganna are fantastic, big isn't always better.

We have divided our school into three Learning Communities to better enable us to provide the close pastoral care and careful monitoring of academic progress that is vital to children's development. The facilities on our new site are excellent. Bigger isn’t always better. For many activities we divide our school up into three Learning Communities to ensure the best levels of pastoral support and care and close academic support that is a Treganna tradition. As the School grows an additional class is added to the Manawydan community every year.

The aims and objectives of Treganna underpin all our work. "Strength in Unity" We will work in partnership, as teachers and parents for the welfare of the pupils. "A Nation without language is a Nation without a heart" - The Welsh language and culture is at the heart of our lives in School and beyond. "Success through Effort" To empower our pupils to be proud of their success, embrace their opportunities and to learn from their experience.

Every year children start school - and every year parents wonder what to do. Whether it's your child's first day at Treganna or the start of year three, there are always new challenges. Children, as well as parents, often struggle with saying goodbye at the classroom door and hello to the start of a new year. Some will start the year off easily, breezing into the classroom with a quick goodbye - but after a few days (or even weeks) - cling as you try to leave.

Others will enter the building only under protest from day one. Then there are those who rush off to school with great enthusiasm but meltdown the instant you pick them up. Others may get tummy aches, or have difficulty falling asleep. Some may even experience going to school as a rejection, particularly if a younger sibling stays home with a parent or caregiver.
