From January 2009 to Friday 22nd May 2009 I spent time at Cynffig Comprehensive School training to become an ICT teacher. There I met some great people in Lewis Parfitt, Mark Stanley, Hayley Collis, Sian Hughes and John Whatley. I was also fortunate to have two top set Year 10 classes who made a huge impression on me as did the Year 12 AS Level ICT group.
Before I got to the school people told me some bad rumours and stories that made me feel very uneasy about going. From now on those people will be told otherwise. Cynffig Comprehensive ICT Department has some fantastic resources and are currently leading the way in the Bridgend County Borough with their very own Moodle. This has proved to be very successful and the pupils enjoying use it especially in Years 10 and 11. This Virtual Learning Environment is also available for other departments to use and steps are already being taken to get them to use it more often. Other departments also have some fantastic resources for the children to use and, teachers with imagination to use them to their full potential.
The management at the school are constanty finding ways of raising funds to improve the infrastructure of the school and improve the standards of childrens learning. The staff at the school are very professional and are constantly looking for ways to improve themselves and the quality of their teaching. They are a big family at the school and they make you feel very welcome. At no point do you feel like an outsider.
I am sad to have left Cynffig Comprehensive School but a new chapter in my life is starting in September 2009 at Wyedean School & Sixth Form Centre. I will never forget my incredible experience at Cynffig Comprehensive School and the people I have met. I will endeavor to keep in touch with Lewis, Mark, Hayley, Sian and John to the best I can. Thank you for the fantastic experience and you will all be missed dearly.
