Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We have now enjoyed our first month of the new academic year and what an super September it has been. This week has been very special indeed with so many children throughout the school putting themselves forward for roles of responsibility - staff members are proud of you all, the quality of presentations have been superb. We all understand that some may feel disappointed, however, I have to stress that ALL candidates have been extremely successful and should feel proud of themselves.
Congratulations must go to elected members - as signposted on our Home page and also to our Vice Councillors who will form our School Rights Council, our new Criw Cymraeg, Eco Warriors, Super Ambassadors, JRSOs, Bronze Sport Ambassadors and House Captains. Together, we have an impressive team of school leaders and I look forward to working with you all.
Congratulations also to our Haverfordwest swimmers who contributed towards winning the Pembrokeshire Championship Shield and to our Urdd football team members who played so well.
Reminder to all parents - Induction Evening - Tuesday 4th October when you will be able to meet your child's teacher and join in a selection of workshops.
A busy and exciting, yet quick week at school. All staff members were very proud when so many young people came into school on Monday morning wearing big smiles and Iron Kids medals. Around 30 pupils took part in last weekend's event - well done to them and all their parents.
Thank you to all the Mums and Dads (and grandparents) who have helped with such fantastic homework this week.. and really enjoyed the experience.. from building dens to producing super artwork.
WPC Jennie Thomas has worked this week with our Y2 children.
We had our Health Promoting Schools National Quality Mark assessment yesterday and await the final outcome, thank you particularly to Sanuka and Keely for their support.
The AGPM report has been sent home to parents this evening with an accompanying letter detailing arrangements for next Tuesday evening's Induction and workshop events, we do hope that all our parents will come along to school between 3.15 and 5.45pm.
A PATCH drop off trolley has been placed in the main foyer for anyone who would like to donate tins/ dried produce for those who are suffering hardship. All donations will be given to PATCH for distribution.
Letter home to Y6 pupils today regarding this year's proposed residential stay.
Our busy school year has now really started. Everyone has settled really well with more newbies joining us this week, we have all been impressed with our very youngest Nursery afternoon part timers who have been so grown up and keen to learn and our morning part timers who have sat so impeccably throughout our whole school assemblies.
John Muir activities have commenced for our older groups of learners and already they have been off site and exploring.
Playgroup has started once more and for anyone that would like to attend - Mondays and Wednesdays 9.00 - 11.00 for 0-3 year olds, free of charge.
Pyramid Club has also made a successful start to the new academic year as has Engineering at BT Karting.
Our Induction Open Evening will be held on Tuesday 4th October when parents and grandparents can come into school to meet our teachers and participate in workshops - Maths Makes Sense /Read Write Inc and School Performance Data - letter to follow.
Well done everyone, we have had a super first week of the new school year. All our newbies have settled well into their new classes throughout the school and our latest Nursery part timers have made a fantastic start. I would like to thank parents and carers for the manner in which you have prepared the children for the new term, they look fantastic and are a credit to you all.
I am sorry that I missed you at the end of the day at the school gate, many of you know that I like to see you all before you leave for the weekend . Thank you for such as great start - have a good weekend.

A great start to the new school year so far! Check Ins are high and children and staff throughout the school are ready for new term. There is a super atmosphere around the building and it was good to see our whole school family all together again in this morning's assembly.
We welcome all our many newbies who were introduced to all today, including new members of teaching staff - Mrs Bond (Y6), Miss Williams (Y5) and Miss Phillips (Y3).
Welcome Back Everyone!! Let us all have a fabulous 2016/17 school year together!
