Language Charter

Croeso i'r Criw Cymraeg 2019-20

What we do

As a Criw Cymraeg, we have to...

• Promote a Welsh ethos in West Park Primary.

• Deliver the Cwestiwn yr wythnos in assembly.

• Implement Cymraeg Campus and gather evidence to achieve our school targets.

• Teach Welsh games on the yard.

Objective:

The simple objective of the Language Charter is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole context.  In a nutshell, the Charter's main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in our school and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh.

The Language Charter 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 learning and driving the Language Charter forward at West Park Primary.

Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards:

To ensure that all efforts are rewarded, the Charter is based on the principle that every school follows challenging but attainable targets in connection with promoting the use of the Welsh language.  The specific targets included in the Language Charter can form part of a  school's Welsh Development Plan.

The aim is to achieve the gold award over a four year period.
