The staff at a Tir-y-berth Primary School are a dynamic team who work hard to ensure that every child feels welcome and happy. All members of staff place great emphasis on establishing positive relationships and setting a climate which promotes concern and respect for others.

We believe that every child has the right to an education and that attendance at school has a big impact on a child’s learning. At Tir-Y-Berth Primary School, we take great pride in ensuring that attendance is maintained at a high level and that this is promoted and celebrated right across the school. While your child is with us, we will monitor their attendance very closely, in order to secure the very best education for them. We put in place interventions where attendance is dropping, but also reward pupils where attendance is excellent!
