Y Goedwig – Nursery to Year 6
Our children experience a wide variety of learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors. They benefit from bright open classrooms and access to high quality facilities. Teaching is innovative to foster a love of learning through nurturing curiosity and potential. Play based learning activities develop our children’s interests whilst recognising their level of maturity. Through their play, they practise and consolidate their learning, play with ideas, experiment, take risks, solve problems, and make decisions individually, as well as in groups. They learn how to observe, listen, respond and develop not only as individuals but also as caring members of our community. They leave Y Goedwig with a solid foundation in their communication, literacy and numeracy skills ready to take the next steps.
In Y Goedwig pupils follow the New Curriculum for Wales. The curriculum has been reformed at a national level in order to raise standards, reduce the attainment gap between students and equip young people with the skills they need to live in today’s ever changing society.
We organise our curriculum into themes and topics, this enables our children to learn in the six Areas of Learning and Experience (Language, Literacy and Communication; Mathematics and Numeracy; Science and Technology; Humanities; Health and Wellbeing; Expressive Arts) and to apply their literacy, numeracy and digital competence skills. This approach is used throughout Y Goedwig and we aim to develop the ‘whole person’ so pupils embody the Four Core Purposes.
As part of our citizenship curriculum, Year 6 pupils are offered the opportunity to apply for the role of Deputy Head Pupils and Prefect allowing them to lead by example and demonstrate responsibility. All pupils in Y Goedwig will have additional opportunity to develop leadership skills through the Senedd and our variety of pupil voice groups including Eco Club, Digital Leaders and Criw Cymraeg.
