We are delighted to work very closely with five local Partner schools. At Cynffig the Transition of pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 is of the utmost importance.  As a school we are continually striving to nurture the positive primary partnerships, which exist with our associate primary schools. In geographical order they are: Cefn Cribwr, Mynydd Cynffig Primary, Pyle, Afon y Felin and Corneli. To be able to work so closely with five excellent and very high-performing schools is a privilege, and our partnership is highly productive.

 

Through out the school year visits take place, which are aimed at making future Year 7 pupils feel comfortable and confident in their future new surroundings.  It is our genuine desire that all pupils will experience a smooth transition, with continued personal and academic development for all.

 

Year 5 and 6 pupils are given numerous opportunities to experience a taste of ‘Comprehensive life’ through a number of initiatives which take place each year. Cynffig is always delighted to collaborate and share good practice with our Primary colleagues to secure and demonstrate progression from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3.

We are always thinking of new ways in which Year 5 and 6 pupils can access the facilities in our school.
