Croeso i Criw Cymraeg!

2026-2027

At St Michael’s Primary School, our Criw Cymraeg is passionate about promoting the Welsh language and celebrating Welsh culture throughout our school community.

Our aims are to:

• Celebrate the Welsh language by encouraging everyone to use Welsh confidently and enjoy learning new words and phrases.

• Promote Cymraeg Bob Dydd by encouraging pupils and staff to use Welsh in everyday school life.

• Develop oracy skills by providing opportunities for pupils to practise speaking and listening to Welsh in a fun and supportive environment.

• Create a Welsh ethos by making Welsh visible and heard throughout our classrooms, corridors and outdoor areas.

• Celebrate Welsh culture and heritage through activities, celebrations, music, traditions and events such as St David’s Day and the Urdd Eisteddfod.

• Encourage and support others by sharing Welsh phrases, helping our peers and being positive role models for the Welsh language.

• Make learning Welsh fun through games, songs, challenges and exciting opportunities to use Cymraeg every day.

• Promote pride in Wales by helping everyone in our school community appreciate the importance of the Welsh language and our national identity.

•  

Through our Criw Cymraeg, we aim to ensure that Welsh is a living part of our school, where everyone feels encouraged, included and proud to say, “Dw i’n siarad Cymraeg!” (I speak Welsh!)
