At Rhiw Syr Dafydd Primary School we are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at Rhiw Syr Dafydd Primary School.

For a pupil to reach their full educational achievement a high level of school attendance is essential. We will consistently work towards a goal of 100% attendance for all pupils. Every opportunity will be used to convey to pupils and their parents or carers the importance of regular and punctual attendance.

Excellent behaviour is an essential part of the ethos of the school. All staff and pupils need to be kept safe from physical and verbal assault and the school has a duty of care in this respect.

Our school is committed to dealing effectively with complaints. We aim to clarify any issues about which you are not sure. If possible we will put right any mistakes we have made and we will apologise. We aim to learn from mistakes and use that experience to improve what we do.

We are committed to helping all members of the school community to benefit from information and communication technology, whilst understanding its risks, and to equip children with the knowledge and skills to be able to use it safely and responsibly.

Respect is the first word in our mission statement. We respect all individuals and are opposed to any form of discrimination. We are committed to giving all our children every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards.
