Gold Cymraeg Campus Award

During the Spring term Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog were awarded the Gold Cymraeg Campus Award, making them only the second school in Denbighshire to achieve the award.

The Cymraeg Campus award is a Welsh language initiative designed for schools to promote the Welsh language and cultivate a strong Welsh ethos in everyday life. This award is a fantastic achievement for Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog and is testament to the hard work and commitment of the staff and learners to promote the Welsh language and culture across the school. During the Spring term the school were joined by members of the Governing Body and Denbighshire County Council for a celebration assembly which was delivered by members of the Criw Cymraeg. The school’s Criw Cymraeg helps lead the school’s efforts by organising weekly assemblies, leading playground games recognising pupils who try hard to speak Welsh and promoting the Welsh language throughout the school day.

Headteacher Laura Martin said: "This award is testament to the hard work of the whole school community, led by Mrs Pitt-Lacey and our excellent Criw.

"As a school we work really hard to promote the Welsh language and culture and are delighted that this has been recognised. I am incredibly proud of the effort and commitment of all involved and am delighted to have received gold."

Chair of Governors, Shannon Gage says "On behalf of the entire Governing Body, I want to extend our warmest congratulations to the school on achieving the Gold Cymraeg Campus Award. This award is a reflection of the dedication and hard work demonstrated by our whole school community and highlights our unwavering commitment to developing the Welsh language and culture at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog. We are immensely proud of this achievement and look forward to building upon this success over the coming years."
