Outdoor Learning Development Update
As the school year kicks off, we’re excited to share the success and growth of our ongoing outdoor learning project that took root during the summer break.
Welcome to the website of Ysgol Melyd, and to a window into the life of our school.
I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of Ysgol Melyd and privileged to work with dedicated staff, fabulous children and supportive families. Our children amaze me daily with their manners, respect and kindness, and whilst I trust that the children of the Web-Design Team have successfully given you a glimpse into the wonderful world of Ysgol Melyd via this website, I also want to share a few statements which go some way towards summing up what we are about.
Although we are a small school, we are at the heart of our community, working in close partnership with parents, carers and other organisations to promote the academic achievements of our learners, whilst also ensuring that their social and emotional wellbeing is kept at the heart of all that we do. At Ysgol Melyd we care.
Our professional and dedicated staff cherish the time we have with our children, broadening their horizons, nurturing their talents and building their resilience so that they are able to work towards their potential, safe in the knowledge that we will work alongside their families to support and protect them through their personal learning adventure. We aim to inspire a love of learning, ambition to improve and the confidence to ‘give it a go’. We offer a balance of challenge and support, expecting all to play their part in helping our school community to thrive. Ysgol Melyd is an ambitious learning community.
We believe that we are more than the sum of our parts, so each and every individual is a vital member of our community, sharing their own talents and abilities for the benefit of all. Whether a child is academically gifted or their strengths lie elsewhere, we aim to allow them to find their valued place in the Ysgol Melyd ‘family’. Ysgol Melyd is diverse and welcoming of difference.
After looking through our website and reading our prospectus please come and see for yourself all that we have to offer you and your child.
Thank you for your interest in our school and I hope your association with Ysgol Melyd is a long and happy one. I look forward to meeting you.

With improved outdoor learning provision, we expect greater levels of engagement, more effective embedding of knowledge, skills and understanding, and subsequent improvement in academic outcomes as well as levels of self-esteem and social behaviours. There are also a number of learners who find it difficult to concentrate in the classroom. Opening their classroom to the outdoors would not only improve their academic opportunities, it would also improve their overall mental health and well-being.
As the school year kicks off, we’re excited to share the success and growth of our ongoing outdoor learning project that took root during the summer break.
