School Context
Llanrhidian Primary School is situated in the Gower Peninsular six miles from the city of Swansea. There are currently approximately 163 pupils on roll from the ages of three to eleven. Llanrhidian pupils are grouped by progression steps into 4 Pods:
- Pod Pili Pala: Nursery
- Pod Pengwin: Reception and Year 1
- Pod Psygodyn: Year 2 and Year 3
- Pod Pry Cop: Year 4,5 and 6
This research focuses on evaluating the impact of how authentic learning experiences can encourage the use of the Welsh language outside of the classroom. The sample for the research is initially progression step 3 pupils, however through the use of performance management and our school 'trust trio' process, findings have had a wider impact to progression step 1 and 2.
