CROESO i LLANRHIDIAN's WORLD OF WORK!
Welcome to Llanrhidian's World of Work, where learning leaps into action! Our curriculum is crafted with passion and purpose, designed to empower every learner to embrace the four purposes at its core. At Llanrhidian, we believe that every pupil—regardless of age or ability—deserves a personalised learning experience, thoughtfully accommodating individual needs including any additional learning challenges.
Llanrhidian's World of Work is a vibrant initiative that adds a dynamic real-life context to our pupils' educational journeys. By integrating practical scenarios, we allow our students to apply their skills in varied environments, bringing classroom theories to life. This approach not only fosters independence but also cultivates essential life skills that our learners will carry into their futures.
Our dedicated staff and enthusiastic pupils have collaboratively shaped Llanrhidian's World of Work, establishing four exciting roles to enhance independence and real-world experience:
Capten Cinio: These pupils are the lunch-time heroes, guiding younger peers
through their dining experience. Their responsibilities include serving food, solving lunchtime dilemmas, and supporting staff—all while ensuring no one is late for their shift!
Capten Chwarae: Working hand-in-hand with our 'Dreigiau' pupil voice group, Capten Chwarae champions the Welsh language during lunch. They organise games and resources, even leading memorable visits to Pen Y Fro Primary School. Look out for our upcoming booklets that will promote their fantastic work!
Capten Darllen: Inspired by our memorable #LlanReadtoRelax day, our Capten Darllen pupils encourage a widespread love of reading across the school, supporting early readers and fostering a community of book lovers!
Capten Plant Bach: Our youngest community members are welcomed every Thursday to the 'Llanrhidian Plant Bach', and our Capten Plant Bach pupils play an essential role in ensuring the event runs flawlessly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone involved.
Here, Pupils', with enthusiastic support from staff and parents, were invited to apply for roles that best matched their unique skill sets. We encouraged them to reflect on important qualities such as:
- Timekeeping
- Reliability
- Independence
- Kindness
- Patience
- Initiative
...to name only a few! This exciting opportunity not only empowers our young learners but also helps them develop vital life skills. We are thrilled to see them explore their interests and take on new challenges within our school environment. Let's cheer on our fantastic pupils as they embark on this adventurous journey!
