Crynallt Primary School

At Crynallt Primary School our vision is to create a caring learning environment where pupils develop as ambitious, capable learners. We will celebrate a range of achievements, valuing all individuals. We will ensure that all members of our school are enterprising, creative, healthy and confident, having a sense of belonging and their own self-worth. We will strive to support and nurture our pupils as they grow physically, academically, socially and spiritually.

At Crynallt Primary we will develop a hands-on curriculum that allows all pupils to learn through exploration, discovery, excitement and fun. We will support all learners to become ethical, informed individuals who celebrate their own personal success and the successes of others. As a team working together we will endeavour to develop a love of learning, ensuring that all pupils reach their full potential.

All our pupils know that they have the Right to be Heard. We are very proud of the way our children contribute to the running of the school. We currently have several committees that are run by the pupils: The School Council, Digital Leaders, The Eco Committee, Criw Cymraeg, Rights Respecting Committee and Bronze Ambassadors. The aims of these committees are to allow children at the school to gain the experience of being part of a committee and to give them a voice in the decision making for the whole school.These Committees are democratically elected by the children at the start of term in September.

Our core safeguarding principles are

• the school’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is of paramount importance
• safer children make more successful learners
• representatives of the whole-school community of pupils, parents, staff and governors will be involved in policy development and review
• policies will be reviewed annually, unless an incident or new legislation or guidance suggests the need for an interim review
