Fishguard Language CentreThe Language Centre is part of the Fishguard Project. The Centre was opened in September 2001, to help newcomers to the area speak Welsh quickly. Having a Language Centre operating to teach latecomers centrally helps primary schools in the area to safeguard the standards of the Welsh language in the classroom.
There are two courses for new entrants: Latecomers Course - two days a week. Progression Course - one day a week. In addition, the 'Bwrlwm Bro Gwaun' transition courses will be held for Year 6 pupils who will continue to further their education at Ysgol Bro Gwaun in Key Stages 3 and 4. The first course will be for pupils who have gained a Welsh First Language KS2 Level. They will continue to follow subjects such as Welsh, Humanities, PSE and PE through the medium of Welsh in KS3. The Second course is aimed towards pupils who have gained KS2 levels through the medium of English. This less intensive Welsh transition course is held for Year 6 pupils who have not followed subjects through the medium of Welsh in Primary school If your child / children are between 7 and 11 years, and have just started school in the Fishguard area - they will have noticed that many activities during a school day are conducted through the medium of Welsh.
Throughout Wales, the teaching of Welsh in schools is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16. This reflects the importance of the language as an integral part of the culture, heritage and every day life of Wales. What are the advantages for my child in learning Welsh?
The Fishguard Language Centre is located at Ysgol Bro Gwaun. Here, in a friendly environment, children of similar age and ability, from many local primary schools, come together for 'beginners' Welsh courses. |
What advantages are there in allowing your child to attend the Centre?
- All the pupils start learning on 'a level playing field' - they are all newcomers to the language
- Class numbers never exceed 14
- One teacher, one subject ensure quick learning
- Use of the excellent IT and sports facilities at the school make learning Welsh fun!
- The Centre is funded by the Pembrokeshire Education Services - there is no cost to you.
- An opportunity to make friends with other children who are 'new to the area'.
Even if you don't speak Welsh, the good news is - it isn't difficult for your child to become bilingual.
There are many ways you can introduce your whole family to the language -
- Join a Welsh medium mother & toddler group in the area - you don't have to be able to speak Welsh but your child will hear it spoken and will learn Welsh songs and stories.
- There are local childminders and after-school clubs which offer Welsh activities.
- Watch some of the wide range of Welsh language TV programmes suitable for all ages with English sub-titles.
- Lots of Welsh language books, DVD's, CD Roms, Websites and Apps are available for all ages.
- Adult evening classes are run at Fishguard & many of the surrounding villagaes.
- Less formal 'parent group' sessions are held at some primary schools in order to encourage families to use Welsh at home.
