Supporting Every Child at Ysgol y Ddraig
At Ysgol y Ddraig, we are committed to ensuring every child can thrive, regardless of their circumstances. The school's principles are based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, emphasising the rights to development, expression of opinion and to be safe.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
-
Tracking and Support: We monitor the progress and attendance of pupils and hold regular meetings to ensure no one is left behind.
-
Inclusive Curriculum: Our lessons include children’s rights, human rights, and financial literacy, and we offer family learning programs like “Cooking on a Budget.”
-
Uniform and Clothing: Pre-loved uniforms, a swap shop, and spare PE kits are available. Our uniform policy is flexible and affordable.
-
Food and Nutrition: Free breakfasts, universal free school meals, snacks for trips, and a ‘pay as you can’ food shop help ensure no child goes hungry.
-
Activities for All: We support participation in clubs, trips, and events with affordable options and fundraising, so every child can join in.
-
Home-School Partnerships: We offer support groups, open communication, workshops, and resource sharing to strengthen our community.
-
Family Support: Information on financial aid and food during holidays is always available, and we are dedicated to equity and inclusion.
Together, we’re building a supportive, inclusive environment for all our families!
