How is the school organised? |
Currently the infant pupils are taught in two separate classes. During the morning session where the main focus is on language, maths and basic skills. Pupils aged 3 to 5 are taught in the Early years class by Miss Jones. Pupils aged 6 and 7 move into year 1 and 2 where they are taught by Miss Hughes. During the afternoon, pupils from 4-7 are taught through pupil-centered topics where knowledge and understanding of the world, creative, physical and Welsh language activities are introduced.
The junior pupils are taught in two separate classes for lower and upper juniors with the 8 and 9 year olds in year 3 and 4 with Mr Williams. The upper juniors of 10 and 11 year olds in year 5 and 6 are taught by Miss Fisher. Pupils are taught mainly in their own class groups to allow learning to be focused for the range of their age and ability.
