Model Church in Wales School Carmarthen

The Model Church in Wales School is a co-educational voluntary aided primary school catering for children from 3 to 11 Years. The curriculum is delivered primarily through the medium of English but bilingualism is a strong focus of the school and all pupils learn Welsh as part of the curriculum.

Jesus our Model, Helps us to share, Learning and kindness, Friendship and Care. Choosing the right school for your child is a major decision. You will want your child to receive an excellent education but you will also want him/her to feel happy, safe and secure. We believe that the Model Church in Wales School can meet your needs.

We pride ourselves on high standards of attainment, behaviour and pastoral care. Our pupils enjoy a stimulating, structured curriculum during the school day and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We believe that each child is special and we make every effort to ensure that we develop each child's talents to the full whilst respecting each child's dignity and individualism.

We value our pupils and we believe that education within a Christian community is a wonderful preparation for life. Each day we use Jesus as our 'Model' and school life is filled with learning, friendship and fun. We hope you will find the website informative and please use it to check regular updates in line with the school calendar and parents’ newsletters . If you have any general enquiries, please contact the office or if you have any concerns or enquiries in relation to your child, please contact your child’s class teacher or myself as the headteacher.

The Model Church in Wales School’s mission is to work within a Christian ethos to nurture and develop all that is best in our pupils providing them with a sure foundation for their future. The Model Church in Wales School is a Christian community in which each individual is of equal importance and is equally valued. Each child, and that means your child, is special. Each has a special talent to bring to the school or a special need to be accommodated.

We aim to provide the very highest standard of education for all children. At the Model School only the best will do! The whole ethos of the school reflects our Christian beliefs. We strive constantly to create a loving, caring atmosphere where children and staff endeavour to concern themselves with the needs of those around them and in the wider community. The Curriculum here promotes the spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical and cultural development of our pupils and we aim to provide a holistic education, which meets the needs of all our pupils.

A copy of our Partnership agreement appears in the appendices. New pupils take two copies of this agreement home, and return one to school signed by parent/ carer and child (from Year 1 and upwards). The school has a comprehensive Pupil Behaviour and Discipline (including anti-bullying) policy. We expect all pupils to respect those around them and to exhibit courtesy and good manners throughout the day. Sanctions will be imposed for misbehaviour. Children who pose a danger to other children or staff or who persistently disrupt classes may be excluded on a temporary or even a permanent basis. Children who hurt other children or frequently disobey Midday supervisors may be excluded during lunchtime for a fixed period.
