Aims and objectives

Annwyl Rieni,
Dear Parent/Guardian,

Croeso i Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog
Welcome to Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog,

Our aim here at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog is to give the children in our care a
secure, stimulating, encouraging environment whereby each pupil,
regardless of academic ability, is given the opportunity to develop and
make progress to the best of his/her ability. We wish to promote high
standards of behaviour and work, with each child developing a sense of
pride in their achievements, their relationships with other pupils and
adults, and in their appearance. We want our children to be happy,
confident and successful.

Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog is situated in a bilingual community and we aim to
reflect this in the everyday life of the school as well as in the more
public area of concerts, end-of-term services etc.

The purpose of this prospectus is to inform you about the life of the
school, its ethos and how you can be actively involved in your child’s
learning.

Mrs Jill Bathie,
Headteacher

Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog received an excellent report following a recent
inspection by Estyn. Many areas were given the top rating of “very good”,
including the standards achieved in nearly a quarter of lessons, the
information provided for parents, the quality of leadership by the
headteacher, the administration and organisation of the school, and the
provision of extra-curricular activities. In addition, the team of
inspectors noted that “target setting based on assessment is very good,
and assessment is very well used to inform staff on pupils’ learning
needs”. Mrs Shelagh Barnes, the Registered Inspector who led the team,
noted that the Welsh identity of the school - the Cwricwlwm Cymreig - is
very well established.

The inspectors commented on the "very positive ethos and sense of
purpose pervading all aspects of school life". Standards of behaviour,
both in the classroom and at playtimes or when moving around the school,
were found to be good. The team of three inspectors judged thatlessons
were orderly at the school and relationships good. The Inspection Report
highlighted the fact that the school has established good partnerships
with parents and the local community, and inspectors commented that
parents had expressed highly complimentary views in the pre-inspection
meeting and through the parental questionnaire.

The report only highlighted two areas for development, both of which had
already been identified in the school's own self-evaluation programme.
These were to do with lack of indoor space for physical activity. The
school has already started to address these issues in its long term planning.

Well done to all the rugby team for doing so well at Denbigh Rugby Festival. They had a few tough games against club sides but this didn't daunt them! A huge thank-you to Coach Dave (Tomos's Dad) who looked after them for the day and got to Denbigh Rugby Club at the crack of dawn so our team could have the Cymru shirts! Many thanks to all the parents who brought their children on a Saturday and who stayed to support them. Read/Post Comment: 0
