Cyngor Bro Morgannwg/Vale of Glamorgan Council

Leaders have worked diligently and proactively to establish a strong and purposeful network of partnerships that enhance the quality and impact of the Welsh immersion provision. They collaborate closely with a wide range of partners, including the educational psychology service, transition officer, admissions team, and staff from partner schools, such as ALN coordinators, to ensure a coherent and well-coordinated approach.These partnerships are highly effective in supporting pupils’ transition into and through the immersion provision. Information is shared systematically at an early stage, enabling staff to understand pupils’ needs thoroughly and tailor support appropriately. This proactive approach ensures that most pupils settle quickly, develop confidence and engage positively with their learning. Close collaboration with external agencies also ensures that vulnerable pupils receive timely and effective support, particularly in relation to their well-being and emotional needs.Partnership working extends beyond the formal programme. For example, the provision of resources such as the ‘Pecyn Prysur’ supports families to reinforce language patterns during school holidays, strengthening the link between home and school. As a result of this cohesive and purposeful partnership working, most pupils make strong progress in their Welsh language skills. Nearly all develop positive attitudes towards learning Welsh and transition smoothly between educational phases, building successfully on their prior experiences.
