= Welcome to the Small Schools Network 1 Project - The Village Trail = __**Background of the Group**__

=
The network started in 2004 with just 3 head teachers, Mrs Angela Stokes of Abercynon Infants being one of the original 3. The group started out talking about the role of the teaching head and the issues and constraints that this brings.======

At first it was decided to join together and share the expertise and ideas for small projects. This was undertaken without funding. The first projects included 'The Outdoors' and 'Speech & Language'. The group then expanded to include the following:

Abercynon Infants Bodringallt Primary Cwmbach Church in Wales Primary Glanffrwd Infants Glantaf Infants Rhiwgarn Infants Rhydfelin Nursery Trallwn Infants (up until this July 2010)

Small ammounts of funding was secured from the Local Authority which has enabled the group to take part in a variety of projects, i.e.


 * Multiculturalism || Summer 2006 ||
 * Developing Creativity || Autumn 2006 ||
 * Fun and Fitness || Spring 2007 ||
