| Welcome to Tredegarville C/W Primary School Website! |
Welcome to Tredegarville Church in Wales Primary School.
All parents want an excellent education for their children, but they also want them to be happy and to feel safe and secure. At Tredegarville, we believe we can offer all these things. We pride ourselves on the broad, balanced and full education we provide, and the high standard of teaching and learning.
We enjoy working closely together with families and the wider community in order to develop a positive and meaningful partnership. We aim to build on these special relationships by developing a special bond and promoting the values of trust and respect. We believe that this will enable each of us to be fully aware of the contribution we can make to the development of the whole school.
We are extremely fortunate in having a hugely committed staff who form a strong, caring and forward thinking team. The staff of the school ensure that they create an atmosphere of richness, interest and challenge. Both children and staff are encouraged to set and strive for high standards.
It is essential to provide each of our children with the opportunity to develop spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. This will help us continue to develop a caring ethos where staff and children can experience tolerance, justice and a sense of self worth, ultimately leading to children who respect themselves, others and their environment.
Our website contains contributions from all of our classes. It should enable parents and families to gauge the school's high standards and the variety of activities which support the school's aim of providing a ‘balanced education in a Christian environment’ for all its pupils.
If you would like to find out more, request an admission form or make an appointment to view our school, then please feel free to call me on 02920 483680. If you would like a place for your child here, please apply to the school directly.
Sincere regards
Mr. David R. Harris
