Ysgol Treganna

Treganna opened its doors in 1987 to 15 reception age pupils and a small year 1 class. There were two members of staff and 30 pupils. In September 2013 we opened our new building with over 50 members of staff and nearly 500 hundred children. Although the facilities at Treganna are fantastic, big isn't always better. We have divided our school into three Learning Communities to better enable us to provide the close pastoral care and careful monitoring of academic progress that is vital to children's development. The facilities on our new site are excellent. Bigger isn’t always better. For many activities we divide our school up into three Learning Communities to ensure the best levels of pastoral support and care and close academic support that is a Treganna tradition. As the School grows an additional class is added to the Manawydan community every year.

At Ysgol Treganna we teach Key Skills to every child in the school, regardless of their ability or individual needs.We use the Key Skills as a means of presenting the whole curriculum and in order to raise the pupils’ standards and achievements.When planning the curriculum our aim is to provide learning opportunities for each pupil, including those pupils that have special educational needs.Pupils are expected to learn these Key Skills in a crosscurricular way, through Thinking, Communication, Information Technology and Numeracy.

The aim of the policy is to prepare pupils in a graduated and appropriate way for life as an adult and for positive and healthy relationships.The lessons ensure that the pupils gain the confidence to discuss in a safe and happy environment. The policy ensures that the pupils understand the development of the body and become aware of what is appropriate and what is not appropriate, and the importance of showing respect.Our aim is to provide a programme of PDR that is appropriate to the age of the pupil, emphasising the social and emotional aspects of relationships.
