Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus Objective
Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus Objective
Our dedication to Cymraeg 2050 is prominently reflected in our school vision, where fostering Welsh language proficiency and raising its profile is a key priority. The Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus serves as a pivotal tool, offering a centralised and structured framework for both primary and secondary schools. This framework acts as a guiding force, aiding schools in realising and actively contributing to the ambitious goals outlined in Cymraeg 2050. Through the Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus, we ensure that our commitment to enhancing the Welsh language is not only sustained but also systematically implemented for a comprehensive and effective impact.
The simple objective of the Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole school context. The Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus’ main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in schools and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh. It exhorts participation from every member of the school community, and members of the school workforce and council, the pupils and their parents, school governors and the wider community are all encouraged to take full ownership of it. The Criw Cymraeg are instrumental in leading and driving the Welsh Language Charter forward.
Criw Cymraeg
Our Criw Cymraeg is comprised of students across several year groups, guided by our enthusiastic Welsh A-level pupils. They convene weekly on Mondays after school to collaboratively explore strategies for promoting bilingualism at Ysgol Gyfun Bryntirion. The Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus will serve as a foundational framework for the Criw Cymraeg to build upon. They will utilise this structure to guide and enhance the development of bilingualism across the entire school community.
Gwobr Efydd/Bronze Award
To ensure that all efforts are rewarded, the Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus is based on the principle that every school follows challenging but attainable targets in connection with promoting the use of the Welsh language. It is based on steps that are deemed to be good practice, and that every school should therefore be able to implement. Ysgol Gyfun Bryntirion will be working towards the Gwobr Efydd over the next year.
