Parental Support 

We appreciate that a large number of parents feel concerned about helping children with their Welsh work. The only thing we would ask you to do is encourage your child to make the time to revise work regularly. Also we would ask you not to display any negative attitudes towards a school subject which could be of great benefit to pupils in the future.
