NEW PUPILS<br />
The school has a wide and varied catchment area and pupils are received from rural and urban schools which<br />
vary in their size. A close relationship has always existed between <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> and local primary<br />
schools and the heads and teachers from these schools meet <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> staff to discuss the pupils’ education<br />
and to ensure a smooth progression from the primary to the secondary sector.<br />
Welsh Medium Feeder Primary Schools:<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Croes Atti, Y Fflint<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Glanrafon, Yr Wyddgrug<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Gwenffrwd, Treffynnon<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Mornant, Picton<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Terrig, Treuddyn<br />
During the past 5 years pupils have joined the Immersion scheme from over 30 different English medium<br />
primary schools.<br />
Transition<br />
The transition process between primary and secondary school should be a smooth and pleasurable one for<br />
pupils and parents alike. At <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> there are detailed arrangements in place to ensure that pupils<br />
already feel like members of the school by the time they arrive in September.<br />
During the summer term teachers from <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> visit every pupil in their primary school and in turn<br />
we welcome our new pupils to spend some time here. Residential courses are also arranged to lay a social<br />
foundation before September. The Urdd's national centres at Glan Llyn and Llangrannog are used for these<br />
courses.<br />
‘There is an excellent link between the school and Welsh and English medium primary schools that feed the<br />
school and its induction programme that ensures Y7 pupils settle quickly. This is a strength confirmed by<br />
parents and pupils. The opportunity for Y6 pupils from the primary schools that feed the school to go to the<br />
Llangrannog camp with Y7 pupils is a manifest success’<br />

In addition to these arrangements for pupils there will be a meeting for all new parents in July and a pastoral<br />
parents evening in October. These meetings will give parents the opportunity to meet staff and discuss their<br />
child’s progress since the start of term.<br />
Parents and new pupils are always welcome to visit the school and appointments can be made by contacting the<br />
school office.<br />
