Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen

In accordance with the school’s aims, we strive to develop civilized values in every pupil. This entails developing, through the whole curriculum, spiritual, moral, and social aspects in all our pupils. Moreover, all pupils follow the PSE programme in order to develop the aims mentioned. We also have an extensive programme of cultural activities, which aims to develop each pupil’s contribution this community. Every pupils receives the opportunity to partake in musical activities.

Parents are encouraged to take an active interest in their children's education and behaviour. To this end, Parents' Meetings are held for each year group in turn, and parents are invited to many functions organised by the school during the year. If any matter, educational or personal, causes any concern to a pupil then parents should contact the school immediately. From time to time we will send text messages to inform you of events in school or to draw your attention to certain matters of interest.

It is not practical for the school to deliver messages to pupils on every occasion. We appeal to parents to do this in emergency cases only. We do not encourage pupils to bring their personal phones to school, therefore we ask you not to contact them through this form, except in a serious emergency

All private property is the responsibility of the pupil concerned. All items (clothing, bags, etc.,) should be clearly marked for identification purposes. The school does not accept responsibility for any personal items lost. Valuables such as watches and cash should be handed to the member of staff concerned if the pupil cannot safeguard the property. This does not mean that the teacher accepts any responsibility for any losses that may occur. A high standard of behaviour is expected on the buses. If a pupil does not conform to this standard it could result in the pupil having to find alternative means of transport. Parents should emphasise the importance of good behaviour on school buses, especially as far as safety is concerned.
