Cynffig Comprehensive School

Cynffig Comprehensive is a friendly, caring and supportive school which places people and relationships at its core. We value the relationships we establish by working together: pupils, staff, parents and the wider community.

The website will give an insight into all we do, believe in and promote at Cynffig. As a school we uphold the values of respect, courtesy and consideration for others. Our aim of striving for excellence underpins our determination to achieve the very best for our pupils: we do our very best to ensure that each and every pupil who comes through our doors has the opportunity to be successful, and we ensure that learning opportunities are provided to make this a reality.

We are delighted to work very closely with five local Partner schools. At Cynffig the Transition of pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 is of the utmost importance. As a school we are continually striving to nurture the positive primary partnerships, which exist with our associate primary schools. In geographical order they are: Cefn Cribwr, Mynydd Cynffig Primary, Pyle, Afon y Felin and Corneli. To be able to work so closely with five excellent and very high-performing schools is a privilege, and our partnership is highly productive.

Through out the school year visits take place, which are aimed at making future Year 7 pupils feel comfortable and confident in their future new surroundings. It is our genuine desire that all pupils will experience a smooth transition, with continued personal and academic development for all.

Year 5 and 6 pupils are given numerous opportunities to experience a taste of ‘Comprehensive life’ through a number of initiatives which take place each year. Cynffig is always delighted to collaborate and share good practice with our Primary colleagues to secure and demonstrate progression from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3.

Cynffig Comprehensive Sixth Form is a friendly, caring and supportive environment which places people and relationships at its core. We value the relationships we establish by working together: pupils, staff, parents and the wider community.

We do our very best to ensure that each and every pupil who comes through our doors has the opportunity to be successful, achieve the highest standards and become an individual who makes a full contribution to society. These aims are achieved through strong partnerships with each pupil and their families, the individual support we provide and the wide range of learning opportunities we offer.

The Sixth Form Learning Leader and Challenge Tutors provide academic and personal support for each and every pupil. Every Sixth Form pupil is supported and guided receiving daily contact with a member of the Sixth Form Pastoral Team, to develop their skills, prepare for life beyond school, review their progress and explore higher education routes.

We offer an extensive PSE programme which supports pupils with citizenship, health and higher education. This is an important broadening component of our Sixth Form. There are a range of facilities for private study. These facilities are available in a designated sixth form study area, in addition pupils have ready access to the Library, Computer Rooms and the Cyber Café.
