Introduction of the Welsh Charter at Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbrân:
5th January 2017
We're very proud and excited to be a part of the Welsh Charter, an initiative by the Welsh Government.
What is the Welsh Language Charter?
The main aim of the charter is to increase the children’s social use of Welsh. We want to inspire our children and young people to use Welsh in every aspect of their lives. Over the next three years the school will have the opportunity to win a bronze, silver and gold award. The Welsh Language Charter asks for a contribution from every member of the school community – the pupils, the school council, the staff, the parents, the governors and the community.
What are the advantages of the Charter?
Raising the standard of the children’s spoken Welsh will have a positive effect on their educational attainment. Research shows that bilingual children achieve better results.
We are enthusiastic to work with all parents to raise the amount of Welsh spoken in the school and beyond.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE PART OF THIS NEW INITATIVE AND WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO ITS LAUNCH ON 18th JANUARY 2017.
(See poster in 'School Letters' section of the website.)
We look forward to seeing you on the 18th.
