School's Vision

Vision

As we prepared for the new Curriculum for Wales, which comes into force in September 2022, we went on an exciting journey to reform our school's Vision. All of the school's stakeholders were consulted, including staff, learners, Governors, parents and guardians, the local community and region's businesses, as well as Education practitioners, in order to create an amended Vision for Ysgol Y Felinheli.

Our vision is to provide a school that feels like a family and a partnership between pupils, staff, parents, governors and the local community. We work together to offer a welcoming, caring and safe environment to encourage effective teaching and learning. Through a whole school approach, we seek to support good mental health and physical well-being by promoting a positive cultural ethos, where the learners foster positive relationships with all of the school’s stakeholders.
We wish to nurture, inspire, challenge and support our pupils by providing broad, exciting and stimulating experiences for them. We aim to foster natural curiosity in each child and for them to enjoy learning, as they grow emotionally, physically, creatively and socially. Our intention is to enable pupils to be ambitious and capable learners, who are ready to face challenges and learn new skills so that they become the best they can be.

⁠We strive to ensure that our pupils are enterprising and creative and are ready to learn throughout their lives.
We aim to have conscientious and respectful pupils who take pride in their heritage, traditions and language. Sound foundations will be embedded in their local area, in their Welshness, as well as their loyalty to the local community, whilst also developing respect towards other beliefs and cultures. Every individual within the school's community will be appreciated and respected and we promote kind and happy individuals who are independent, resilient and confident whilst appreciating everyone's participation.

We strive to foster learners who are responsible citizens to enable them to care for their local and global environment.
The Voice of the Child is very important at Ysgol Y Felinheli. We believe that a pupil's contribution towards the learning and including them in decisions can create an empowering environment that increases aspirations, and develops positive attitudes in young people towards issues that are directly related to their community and beyond. With your cooperation, we can foster confidence in the children to develop the skills required for lifelong learning.

The school would like to thank everyone who helped with the process of reviewing this vision.
