Wellbeing at Gwauncelyn

The school has an inclusive and caring ethos that permeates its daily life. It provides a safe environment for all its pupils’ personal, social, spiritual and cultural skills well. Nearly all pupils are happy and safe in school. They know how to stay safe, including online and know whom to go to if they are upset or worried.  ESTYN

Our Vision:

Our vision at Gwauncelyn Primary is to create an environment for all stakeholders, which acknowledges that, whilst we come at it from unique perspectives, good mental health and well-being is intrinsic to our lives. 

Our learners will be given the opportunity to develop the skills, capabilities, and attributes to make positive life choices and make positive contributions to society.

Learning and progression will support the development of habits and behaviours that will allow our pupils to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
