Ffrindiau'r Ffin /Ysgol Gymraeg Y Ffin PTA
Community Development
We want to create a covered area attached to the school so pupils/other children who use the building can be outside whatever the weather.
About this cause
We are the the the PTA for Ysgol Gymraeg Y Ffin, one of two Welsh Medium schools in Monmouthshire. The purpose of the PTA is to plan and organise activities and events to raise funds for extra resources, equipment and activities for our children, to enrich their education. It also provides an opportunity for friends of the school to meet and have fun with others, united in the common cause of supporting our children in their education. Because we are a small school, we receive less in government funding and investment than other schools in the area. The PTA strives to enrich the resources and equipment of available so that parents within Monmouthshire can access Welsh Medium education for their children without without feeling that their choice is resticted due to the size of the school.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Improving the school buildings will make the school more attractive to local parents and increase the number of Welsh speakers within Monmouthshire. The school is also home to the only after school club in Caldicot, which is attended by children from 4 primary schools. A new cylch meithrin is starting at the premises this September, and they too would be able to benefit from this sheltered area.
