Raglan Church in Wales VC Primary School is a brand new, 21st Century School built for integrated learning experiences that support every child to develop their skills at their own stage of development, based on large, plaza learning environments. It is an exciting place to work and to learn for us all.
Our new school was blessed and dedicated by Bishop Richard, Bishop of Monmouth on Friday 4th September as a Church in Wales Primary School, and was officially opened on 22nd October, 2015 by Bishop Richard Pain; Brian Strong, Chairman of Monmouthshire County Council; Peter Fox, Leader of the Council; CCllr Liz Hacket-Pain; and Dr Cheryl Morgan, who was our Chair of Governors until September 2016 and led us through the build of our new school.
Our school serves a wide rural catchment area with families joining us from within the school's catchment and also from Monmouth and Abergavenny where there has been space in the cohort. We have a capacity for 210 children but currently have 212 children on roll, and more than half of our children travel on school transport each day from rural locations within out catchment area.
The Ethos of Raglan CiW V.C. Primary School is not a subject which can be found on the school timetable, but is a thread woven into the intricate pattern of the whole school day, throughout the whole curriculum. All life experiences are incorporated into a Christian ethos and it is an integral part of the spiritual and moral growth of the children and adults that they can work together within a loving safe family.
Every child is encouraged to develop attitudes of openness and inquiry that will engage them in a search for truth. The school provides a caring, but well-disciplined learning environment where the emphasis is placed on the understanding, and respect, of each individual and where an understanding of values is explored.
Each adult exercises a respectful approach to the children and other members of staff and the children show a similar respect to one another and to the staff. Within the school there is a happy and warm atmosphere where children feel safe to expand and explore their learning. An environment that is controlled and relaxed, and enables all children to learn and to enjoy learning in the best possible way for them.
As a Church in Wales School, we promote the core values to build the ethos of our school. The values are shared with pupils, staff, parents and the wider community and the value for the term will be visible in the school entrance.
