Ysgol Saron

Ysgol Saron is a happy, lively and welcoming school where everyone works together to provide a variety of experiences and wide ranging opportunities with the aim of laying firm foundations for every child’s future.

We inspire our pupils through a varied and exciting curriculum taught through a thematic approach. Our aim is to encourage every pupil to believe in themselves and in what they can do; we expect our pupils to achieve their very best in everything they attempt.

Children learn effectively when they are happy, safe and secure, therefore all staff are committed to supporting pupils and their families to ensure children are ready and able to learn. We aim to ensure that children’s learning experiences are relevant, exciting and purposeful and underpinned by the rigorous development of basic skills.

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. We introduce a well balanced, wide curriculum that encompasses pupils’ emotional, spiritual, moral, social and physical development. This is done primarily through using the thematic approach. Schemes are available in the headteacher’s office.

The National Curriculum dictates the majority of areas taught to pupils. Our aim is to introduce subject areas in an interesting and challenging way through a thematic approach. Teaches carefully plan the curriculum and the scheme has been approved by the governing Body. We use a cross-curricular approach to provide a wide and balanced curriculum that meets the educational needs of every individual pupil. We place a strong emphasis on ensuring pupils acquire basic skills in language, maths and science. In addition we also teach the following subject areas: Information Technology and Communication, History, Geography, Art, Music, Religious Education, personal and Social, Design Technology and Physical Education. We aim to ensure that by the end of key stage 2 pupils have the appropriate skills to be able to communicate confidently in both languages and are aware of the cultural heritage of Wales.
