The Mathematics and Numeracy Area of Learning and Experience is concerned with developing a good, lasting understanding of mathematical concepts and the confidence to use and apply numerical skills in everyday life.  It includes experiences that enable children to develop their broader numeracy and financial skills by exploring relationships in quantities, space and data, and to apply them to real-life situations. Mathematics helps children to make sense of the world around them and to manage their lives. It gives them skills they need to interpret and analyse information, solve problems and make informed decisions. It provides strong support for the development of wider skills, particularly critical thinking and problem solving, planning and organisation, and creativity and innovation. It enables people to communicate ideas in a concise, unambiguous and rigorous way, using numbers and symbols.

All arrived safely in Staylittle, found their way around and went gorge walking yesterday afternoon.  Mobile phone signal poor so only getting brief messages but these photos came through overnight.  Heard from Miss Roberts this morning and no problems to report.

 

PDG Statement

Pupil Deprivation Grant Statement 2016-2017

 

The Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG) is allocated to schools with pupils who come from low-income families and are currently known to be eligible for free school meals (e-FSM) and pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC).

Schools are expected to make the best use of this funding to implement sustainable strategies that will quickly bring about changes for learners eligible for free school meals or who are LAC.

 

As a school we have agreed the following three steps:

1. to identify the target pupils, their characteristics and needs

2. to plan interventions which make the most effective use of resources

3. to monitor and evaluate the impact of resources

 

At Cradoc School we have a comprehensive plan, agreed and monitored by Powys Local Authority and ERW, to promote progress and remove barriers to learning for students eligible for this funding.  As the number of pupils eligible for PDG is fewer than 5, details about the grant and how it is being used is being kept confidential, in order to protect the identity of the children concerned.

3@Cradoc Pre-school

Welcome to 3@Cradoc (Acorn Class)

The first step in your child’s education is an important time for both you and your child.

3@Cradoc provides a unique playgroup experience that aims to provide a high standard of care and education.   3@Cradoc is linked with the Early Years Department at Cradoc School and we work together to ease the transition between Playgroup and School.   It is run under the management of Cradoc Primary School and registered and monitored by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW).

3@Cradoc has planned activities in accordance with the Foundation Phase Framework.  Sessions are conducted in English with Welsh language development encouraged in all activities.

We place great emphasis, especially in the Early Years, on developing every child’s social and emotional skills.  We are very proud that this work has been identified as an “area of sector-leading practice” by Estyn during 2013.

From 5th April 2016 we extended our hours and are now open from 9 am  to 3.30 pm,  Monday to Friday during term time.  Children aged from 3 to 4 are welcome. 

This means that working with CoolKids@Cradoc, your child can receive wrap-around care from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, 49 weeks of the year. 

Please contact the school on 01874 622555 for more details. 

For more details, please take a look at our Parent Handbook attached.

However, we would more than welcome a visit from you, to see how much the children enjoy their time at 3@Cradoc and how quickly they learn.
