Extra-curricular Activities

A great emphasis is placed by all school staff on extra curricular activities. All pupils from Year 1 onwards are encouraged to become members of Urdd Gobaith Cymru, which is the Welsh League of Youth. The Urdd offers various activities for its members from sporting activities to competing at Eisteddfodau in reciting, singing and dancing.  

The school takes an active role in various sporting competitions, and again the pupils are encouraged to enjoy taking part in all events. Various concerts are held within school and the community. The pupils are frequently requested to perform at various fundraising events in the locality. 

When in Year 5 and/or 6, pupils will be given an opportunity to go on a residential course at the Lady Stepney Residential Centre at Pendine. Pupils will travel down on a Monday and return on Friday. Teachers will accompany them.
