Ysgol Trefonnen is a Church in Wales School. As a Church School we seek to promote Christian Values such as trust, forgiveness and thankfulness as well as promote a Christian Ethos. An Act of Collective Worship will take place every day, coming together as a whole school or in streams three times a week. There is a close connection with Holy Trinity Church and we have a visit from clergy weekly.

Assemblies are an important time in the life of any school. Within a Church school this is even more important as it is a time for the school to join together in the central act which marks out the position of the school as Christian in character. Different assemblies are held through the school week, including a ‘whole school’ assembly led by one of the Parish clergy, phase assemblies, stream assemblies or class prayers. Through our assemblies, we develop the values of sharing, honesty and respect amongst others. These are important values and support the ethos of our school. Each week, we hold a Praise Assembly during which we celebrate individual, class and school achievements. Parents have the right to request that their child be wholly or partly excused from attendance at the act of collective worship. Alternative arrangements will be made for your child if this is the case.
