Sam Jones: Malpas Church Primary School, Newport

Sam has transformed Malpas Church Primary School’s approach to the Welsh language. 

Upon completing a one-year sabbatical, Sam made it her mission to inspire students and the wider community to speak Welsh confidently every day.

Sam redeveloped the school’s teaching strategy, creating an interactive, enjoyable learning experience for her students and colleagues. “Welshness is in the air”. 

Sam’s dedication to Welsh shines as a beacon of light throughout the school. Her students come hopping and skipping to her lessons with excitement to see her!
