The Criw Cymraeg are proud to have achieved the Siarter Iaith Bronze Award, they are now working hard towards achieving the targets set for the Silver Award.  They meet weekly to check the progress the school is making towards achieving the targets, discussing how they can help achieve certain targets and set challenges or tasks for pupils or teachers to achieve. 

Throughout the week, pupils are rewarded with ‘Pwyntiau Cymraeg,’ language points by teachers or members of the Criw Cymraeg for their use of Welsh.  Criw Cymraeg collect the points each week and award the winning KS2 and Foundation Phase class with a certificate, ‘Dosbarth yr wythnos.’
