Flintshire County Council

Welsh Language policy for all schools

The Authority’s Welsh language policy aims to ensure that all pupils reach a standard of bilingualism. It will be the responsibility of the Authority, in conjunction with the Head and the School Governors, to ensure the teaching of both Welsh and English is in accordance with National Curriculum requirements.

Primary Education will be provided for all children mainly through the medium of English, or mainly through the medium of Welsh.

Secondary Education will be provided for all children mainly through the medium of English, or mainly through the medium of Welsh. To ensure continuity with the primary schools, Welsh will be taught as a second language in all secondary schools where the main medium of instruction is English.

Usually pupils who have received their education through the medium of Welsh in primary school transfer to Ysgol Maes Garmon at Key Stage 3. Pupils can transfer from English medium primary schools to Ysgol Maes Garmon where they will be offered the immersion scheme that is available at the end of Year 6 and all the way through Year 7.
