What is the Welsh Language Charter?

The Welsh language is one of the treasures of Wales. It is part of what defines us as people and as a nation. The Welsh Assembly Government's ambition is to see the number of people able to enjoy speaking and using Welsh reach a million by 2050.

The simple objective of the Language Charter is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole school context. In a nutshell, the Charter's main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in schools and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh.

The Language Charter exhorts participation from every member of the school community, and members of the school workforce and council, the pupils and their parents, school governors and the wider community are all encouraged to take full ownership of it. The Criw Cymraeg are instrumental in leading and driving the Language Charter forward at Bynea.

The Criw Cymraeg have been assigned the following roles:

• To promote a Welsh ethos in Bynea by encouraging learners to speak Welsh. They do this by putting their names in a prize box when they hear welsh being spoken.
• To deliver the Welsh sentence of the week in assembly.
• To implement Cymraeg Campus and gather evidence to achieve our school targets.
• To teach Welsh games on the yard.
