‘Learning through play’ has been long established in Wales! Consequently, through the Foundation Phase, great emphasis is placed on the outdoor environment as a stimulus for learning.
Key Stage 2 is a phase of primary education for pupils aged 7 to 11 in England and Wales. Our teachers are very experienced and most have been at the school for a number of years.
At Oystermouth Primary we place pupil voice at the heart of everything we do. Our Senedd is made up with every member of our Key Stage 2 children and a member of staff. We have created seven groups each focusing on an area of our school development.
Welsh is the oldest language in Britain, going back at least 2,500 years. Discover how Welsh is related to other European languages and about the emergence of Welsh into the modern age.
Most schools have a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), which is an organisation of parents and staff. Its role is to encourage closer links between home and school. Fundraising events provide an opportunity for parents, staff and pupils to get together.
Breakfast club / Wrap around / After school club. Oystermouth Primary School provides a full day care service for children in the local area, even if they attend other schools. We are CIW registered and provide families with child care from 8am to 5:30pm.
In the Foundation Phase, play is an important aspect of the school day. At this stage, children learn through doing. Outdoor areas have been set up around the school grounds and pupils are taken outside regularly, either locally or further afield, to gain first hand experiences.

Our teachers have, between them, years of experience. Find out more about them in the ‘Teachers’ Section’.
We want children of all potential, abilities and talents to enjoy learning and to develop as independent and motivated thinkers and learners whose achievements are recognised in all areas of the curriculum and personal experience. We work to create a climate of tolerance, respect, mutual communication and support wherein all are willing to accept, and are proud of, the standards set by the school.
