Dear Parent/Carer,

I write as half term approaches to congratulate all of our children for such a successful few weeks at school.  Covid restrictions are still generally all in place and the children have just continued to engage with enthusiasm in their learning despite the challenges.

I thank you as parents also for the respectful manner in how you present on school site, ensuring that we all aim to keep each other safe. Welsh Government guidance as yet has offered little lessening of restrictions with the exception, that from this week our Foundation Phase classes are able to return to a more normal layout of seating arrangements/classroom areas of learning.

There are some provisions which have adapted to be Covid friendly which have resumed this half term outside classroom learning e.g.

• Our Year Five children have completed the Safe Cycling Programme with Pembrokeshire County Council.
• Year One children have completed the Kerbcraft Programme with Pembrokeshire County Council.
• Musical tuition has continued for our musicians across the school.
• Transition from Year 6 –Year 7 is well underway with Haverfordwest High V.C..  Our classes have already visited school site for “Walkthrough” sessions.
• PC Jennie Thomas has continued with her Police Liaison Programme – delivering face to face practice on site.
• Our school photographer has taken individual photographs of our children.

Planning ahead for next half term, we shall know that at this point, we are unable to make any final decisions around days out/special events/sports days etc..  We had dearly hoped to allow small numbers of parents on site to share some activities, however, at the current time, we are unable to plan for this.  Hopefully, updated Welsh Government Operational Guidance will arrive to clarify the way forward in the near future.

During the next month, our school Governors will be recruiting a new Headteacher for as early as possible in the next academic year.  You will be updated regarding this.

I hope our whole school topic “Celebrations” will promote a great end of another difficult school year for many.

Have a great half term all – stay safe!

School reopens on Monday 7^th June 2021.

Term ends on Friday 16^th July 2021.
