Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur seeks to develop students who are successful, confident and happy, who inspire their community and who act with kindness and compassion towards others.

In our procedures and daily routines, our broad and varied curriculum, our pedagogical model and through our commitment to providing experience of the wider world we aim to promote a strong sense of community and belonging, to provide a blend of high challenge and high support and to encourage the development of

• Outstanding habits of behaviour such as self-awareness, kindness, appreciation, humility, politeness, confident self-expression and self-presentation and
• Outstanding habits of learning such as determination, resilience, organisation, reading, studying and practice

We believe in the value of:

• Self-awareness
• Kindness and compassion
• Belonging
• Study, practice, reading and resilience
• Inspiring others

At school, we encourage this by offering our students the opportunity to be part of different communities and to voice their opinions. We want our students to feel part of their school, of their community and of their future.
