Urdd

 

What is the Urdd:  

Urdd Gobaith Cymru is a National Voluntary Youth Organisation with over 55,000 members. They provide opportunities through the medium of Welsh for children and young people in Wales.  

One of these opportunities is the Urdd National Eisteddfod which takes place each year during the May half term. 

 

As a school, we have a long tradition of entering a wide variety of competitions with the Urdd and several of our pupils have gone on to represent the school at both a regional and national level. We are delighted that we are once again able to take part in the Urdd Eisteddfod competitions this year.  

 

As a school, we usually enter children from Year 2 up who wish to compete.  

 

Membership:

Any child wishing to enter a competition must be a member of the Urdd.  

The membership process has never been easier – to renew or to create a new membership. Visit https://www.urdd.cymru/en/join/  

 

HOW MUCH IS THE MEMBERSHIP?

Membership for one child is £ for the whole year.  

Family membership (3 or more children) is £.  

We also offer £1 membership for children who are eligible for free school meal support.  

Included in the price, each member will receive a badge and access to all Urdd activities. Provision varies from area to area but clubs, activities, special tours, and free magazines are all part of the Urdd’s membership offer.

Urdd Eisteddfod Competitions:  

When entering competitions children are committing to being able to attend all rounds which usually take place after school or on weekends. The National Final takes place during May Half Term.  

Children competing in group stage events (choir/group recitation) will need to have a white shirt, school trousers/skirts, and black shoes if they progress to the regional/national rounds (school ties will be provided by the school)  

 

As a school, we invite children to enter the following competitions (group competitions would be dependent on enough children wishing to take part)
