At Gendros Primary School, every child matters. We are a welcoming, inclusive and nurturing community where every child is valued for who they are, feels safe and respected, and knows that they belong.
We believe that well-being, relationships and learning are inseparable. Through our Thrive Approach and our commitment to being an excellent school for well-being, we place emotional well-being, positive relationships and the development of the whole child at the heart of school life. We encourage children to build confidence, resilience and independence, while developing the self-belief to face challenges and achieve their potential.
We are proud to be a Rights Respecting School, placing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of our ethos. We ensure that children’s voices are heard, their opinions are valued and their rights are respected. Through our restorative approach, we support children to build positive relationships, resolve difficulties and learn from their experiences.
As a school in Wales, Welsh language, culture and Cynefin are an important part of our identity. Through our Siarter Iaith, we encourage children to use and enjoy Welsh in their everyday lives and develop a sense of pride in their language, heritage and community. We want every child to understand their place in the world and feel a strong sense of Cynefin – a connection to the people, places, history and culture that shape who we are.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced and engaging, rooted in the Curriculum for Wales and designed to develop curious, creative, capable and confident learners. We celebrate achievement in all its forms and encourage children to learn from mistakes, take risks in their learning and develop a lifelong love of learning.
We believe that regular attendance matters. Being in school every day, wherever possible, gives children the best opportunity to learn, develop friendships, participate fully in school life and experience a strong sense of belonging.
Our commitment to Eco Schools reflects our responsibility to care for our environment and encourages children to become responsible citizens who understand the positive difference they can make to their school, community and wider world.
At Gendros, we work in partnership with children, families, staff and our wider community. Together, we strive to create a school where everyone feels valued, included, respected and proud to belong.
Believe it, Achieve it.
