Our top priority is the health and well-being of our children and the wider school community. We are committed to creating an environment where every child experiences success and a sense of belonging supported to thrive, learn and grow into ambitious and capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives.

Our curriculum is designed with every child's well-being at its heart. We believe that the best learning happens when it is experiential, relevant and meaningful, inspiring children to grow into enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work. We make sure that our lessons are relevant to every child's interests, needs and aspirations, while also reflecting the context, values and needs of our community.

At Penyrheol, our curriculum supports every child to become ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the wider world. We encourage our learners to ask questions, explore their interests, and take ownership of their own learning. We want every child to feel empowered and confident in their abilities, knowing that they have a voice and choice in what and how they learn to become healthy, confident individuals.

While we focus on building strong literacy, numeracy and digital skills, we also prioritise teaching essential life skills including creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking. By putting every child first, we are building a school where every individual will feel supported, valued, and excited to learn every day, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.
