Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Bryniago was inspected by Estyn in June and was found to be hardworking, with the headteacher receiving praise for having ‘very high’ expectations of herself and others.

Inspectors noted that the primary school in Pontarddulais promotes the Welsh language successfully and as a result, most pupils speak Welsh with confidence. The inspection report noted that because of this, pupils have a strong awareness of their local area as well as knowledge of the history and culture of Wales.

Headteacher, Nia Jones, was noted as having ‘strong leadership’ and along with all staff, helps create a caring and interesting learning environment.

In the report, inspectors said: “‘Teachers encourage pupils to contribute to their learning and include their suggestions when planning a ‘menu’ for new themes.

“Staff provide valuable opportunities for older pupils to influence the wider life of the school by contributing to the ‘pupil’s voice’ and participating in projects that have a direct impact on the school.”

The report went on to say “Teachers across the school plan activities to meet pupils’ needs successfully.”

Inspectors also noted how the school has had a positive impact across all schools in Swansea. It said “The school council worked in partnership with the county’s catering department to adapt the school lunch menu across the county.”

Headteacher, Nia Jones, speaking about the report said:

“I am immensely proud of the children and staff of Ysgol Gymraeg Bryniago. We welcome Estyn’s report as a true reflection of the school’s ethos and how we all value and contribute positively to our pupils’ educational journey and the school’s community.

“It is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire school family—staff, pupils, and parents.

“Dim ond ein gorau glas sy’n ddigon da” [‘Only our very best is good enough’].

Annual pilgrimage to St David’s / Tyddewi. Despite the masses of people making it fairly chaotic, the visit to cathedral and the bishops palace is definitely well worth the trip. #Wales #Cymru #WestWales #WelshHistory #WelshCulture #Pembrokeshire #Sunset #Wednesday

Digging around the roots #Nemawashi
Japanese practice of transplanting trees (successfully) by,
Carefully digging around the roots before you lift the tree.
Adapted by manufacturing (Toyota specifically) to mean carefully talking about an idea with people before you make a decision.
I reckon it’s embedded in #WelshCulture #CloddiorPridd
Is made for #Cooperatives
And is all about #sustainble decisions

Interests include #gardening, gardens, plants and photography, #WelshCulture and folklore, #archaeology and history, #wildlife and conservation, and finally my more spiritual side includes #druidry and other nature based traditions.

I think that's it for now.

Thank you. 😁
