About Us
The overarching purpose of school improvement is to help schools give learners the best possible learning experiences and outcomes, whatever their background or circumstance, in order to achieve high standards and aspirations for all.
We have shared, below, our improvement priorities for this academic year, in summary form for the benefit of learners, parents and carers, as well as other stakeholders. Our aim in doing so is to support an open and transparent culture in which our improvement priorities are shared and that we ensure that all stakeholders are included in all aspects of our continued improvement.
Our school places Wales, the Welsh language and culture, and respect for ourselves and others at the core of everything we do. By caring for each other and our environment we will create a civilized and supportive atmosphere that allows every individual within the school community the opportunity to develop to their full potential, and feel comfortable with their personality and identity.
Welsh is the language of the school - the language of lessons, the administrative language, the language used between teachers and pupils and between pupils and themselves. By making the decision to attend Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda your child will be able to:
-
speak two languages and experience two different cultures
-
think more flexibly and creatively
-
improve their job prospects
-
communicate with a wider variety of people
-
participate fully in all aspects of community life.
