Ysgol Gynradd Talyllychau

Our school is situated on the outskirts of the rural town of Llandeilo in the village of Talley in the county of Carmarthenshire. The school admits pupils on a fulltime basis at the start of the term they turn four, until the end of year 6 when they move to a Secondary school. The school is designated as a Welsh-medium school in accordance with the Education Authority’s language policy. This means that Welsh is the main medium of the life and work of the school and seeks to ensure that pupils are fully bilingual by the time they transfer to the secondary sector.

As a school we aim to ensure that every pupil with additional needs receives a high standard of educational provision and has access to a curriculum that has breadth, balance and relevance. We try to identify children who are having difficulties as early as possible and target support in the infant phase. When a teacher believes that a pupil requires additional support he/she will make a note of any difficulties and discuss the matter with the Headteacher. Parental permission will always be sought before placing a child on the special educational needs register and, where appropriate, the child’s view will also be taken into account.

We aim to keep parents well informed and invite them to school every term to discuss progress and to comment on their child’s Individual Education Plan. Every teacher is aware of the importance of differentiation in order to provide a full and relevant education to his or her pupils. Depending on the nature of the task, differentiation will focus on the level of the work, marking and praise, expectations and class management, i.e. working in pairs, groups or individually.

The Head Teacher has the overall responsibility for the school and he will depend on the close co-operation of all members of staff in caring for the pupils. Each pupil is allocated to a class for the purpose of registration and this enables the class teacher to be personally responsible for the pastoral care of his/her pupils. The school keeps a record of the telephone numbers of parents and in case of accidents, should a child require medical treatment, every effort is made to contact parents first, depending on the seriousness of the case. Minor accidents will be dealt with by members of staff, but in the case of the more serious accident, the pupils will be taken to a doctor. In all cases where serious accidents occur full details will be forwarded to the Risk Assessment unit of the Local Education Authority. During playtime, a member of teaching staff as well as members of the support staff are on duty in the playground, or in the case of inclement weather, in the school. During the lunch period, supervision is carried out by the staff. The Head teacher has the specific responsibility for the pastoral care of looked-after children.
