Welsh

At Blaenbaglan Primary School, we are extremely proud of our Welsh identity. The Welsh language is woven throughout our school day, with pupils encouraged to speak Welsh in a variety of situations, both inside and outside the classroom. Across the school, pupils develop strong oracy, reading and writing skills in Welsh, helping them become confident and enthusiastic learners.

We are delighted to have achieved the Silver Award of the Cymraeg Campus Language Charter in recognition of our commitment to promoting and increasing the use of Welsh throughout the school. Our dedicated Criw Cymraeg play an important role in this work. They lead a weekly assembly and present certificates to pupils who have made a special effort to speak Welsh.

Our Welsh heritage is also embedded throughout the curriculum. Pupils explore the history, landscapes, legends and traditions of Wales, with a particular focus on our local community and environment. Through these experiences, we aim to nurture a lasting sense of pride, belonging and connection to Wales.
