Case Study at Ysgol y Castell
Ysgol Y Castell is situated in the small town of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, about nine miles to the west of Llanelli. The school serves the local community which it describes as being significantly economically or socially disadvantaged, being one of the top ten deprived wards in the county.
The two main areas initially identified which were impacting on pupil’s progress in class were reading, spelling and mathematics. Although the purpose of the project was to improve the skills of literacy and numeracy, the first aim has been a core message throughout the project:- to develop the emotional well being of pupils and ensure we develop the understanding of the importance of this.
