Ysgol Iau Llancaeach / Llancaeach Junior School has achieved the bronze award for the Cymraeg Campus and is currently working towards the silver award.  This award is achieved by a school for its hard work and dedication in promoting the Welsh language and Welsh ethos.

We have elected enthusiastic members to our Criw Cymraeg Council from each class. The Criw Cymraeg is a pupil led initiative to promote incidental Welsh and Welsh ethos within our school. Each member is passionate about the Welsh language and heritage and has lots of ideas on how we can drive Welsh forward in Llancaeach, ensuring that the school's vision for Welsh has a high focus. 

Y Criw Cymraeg or 'Welsh Crew' have an important role within our school. Some of their jobs include:

• Helping to promote a Welsh ethos and the Welsh language. 
• Ensuring that pupils enjoy learning Welsh through daily Helpwr Heddiw sessions and weekly Welsh lessons.
• Encouraging pupils and staff to communicate through the medium of Welsh.
• Ensuring that pupils understand that Welsh is an important part of our culture.
• Leading Welsh assemblies.
• Helping to plan and organise special Welsh celebration days/events such as Shwmae Day, Dydd Santes Dwynwen, Dydd Gwyl Dewi, Yr Eisteddfod etc.

We will communicate our efforts towards the award through Class Dojo and our Twitter account that you can follow @LlancaeachJr

Each class will take home our Welsh mascots, Seren a Sbarc to support links at home in Welsh.

Our school promotes the Urdd. If you would like to join, here is a link that you can follow:- Join | Urdd Gobaith Cymru
