Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The children have returned to school in good spirits, ready to start the Summer Term - albeit a very short and busy half term ahead.
We welcome many newbies to the school, both across the school and in the Nursery and congratulated them on settling well. We also congratulate our "big" Nursery children who are now Full Timers.
Over the next couple of weeks, the school (as all other schools) will be participating in The National Tests for our Year 2 to Year 6 children. We ask our parents to not worry regarding the testing - as you are aware the wellbeing of our children is at the heart of all we do here and the school considers many factors when assessing the achievements of our pupils -National Test results are just one such factor, the Values that our children show and the work they produce when engaged in their daily lessons give us wonderful evidence of their daily, consistent achievements of which we are all proud.
I thank all parents and carers (Y1-6) for dropping off your children at the playground gate this week. This has been a great success as the children have had the full playground area to use at the start of the day and movement into class is relaxed and timely.
There have been a few late arrivals, we ask those parents to please ensure that your child arrives in good time for Registration and Check Ins - it is always a little embarrassing to arrive late and we really do not want our children to feel uncomfortable at the start of the day.
Thank you to our Rights Councillors who joined this week's staff meeting regarding the update of our Rights Charters, they were superb- our Provider commented upon their amazing contributions - they wowed us all!
Our additional salad bar has worked well for our little people this week and I thank all the Catering and Lunchtime staff for such hard work. As the next few weeks progress, we shall be working with Catering Services to expand the menu with daily packed lunch options... we shall certainly need your help with this!!
I am sure that you won't forget the Bank Holiday on Monday - have a great weekend.
The last blog of the Spring Term 2017 -what a busy term it has been ! We have ended it with some fantastic Values Treats - Medieval banquets, tents on the playground, visiting pets, Easter treats etc.The children seem so happy!
Yet again this week, we have worked with so many visiting teachers from schools across Wales who can't help but be impressed with the attitude of our children towards their learning.
The school has also been busy in recruiting staff for September and with such a large staff team , we accept that staff move on to other ventures. With sadness, we say goodbye today to Mrs Devereux and plan to say goodbye and congratulations to Mr Voros, who will take up the Headship of Coastlands C.P. School in September.
You will receive our half termly newsletter today with additional information about a small change for Y1 - 6 morning arrival next term. As we hope for finer weather, we shall be opening the gate which leads on to the playground between 8.25 - 8.40 am and requesting that parents drop off children at the gate, allowing the playground to be used to its full potential by the children. The gate will be supervised by staff, so that once in school, children will be unable to leave the playground area. The bell and lining up arrangements will remain the same. We thank parents in advance for their cooperation around this small change.
I am hoping that at the start of term, you will receive more news about our packed lunch options.
Thank you once more for your support this term. I wish you all a great Easter break!!!!
