Save money by reducing your child’s lost property.

Dear Parent / Carer

With the support of Governor Sian Harris, we have signed up to a name tags company to help parents label clothing, lunchboxes, drink bottles etc.  Finding lost jumpers has been a long time problem for us and can be an expensive problem for parents. At this time it is especially important that clothing and other belongings do not get lost or used by other children. The school will receive 24% in return for any purchases made and we will always ensure that this goes back to the children in activities or fun resources.

Thank you for your support.

End of Year School Update

Wednesday 15th July

Dear Parent / Carer,

As the end of another school year draws to a close this week, I would like to say thank you to parents, children, staff and Governors, for the support shown to the school through what has been a very difficult time for everyone.

It has been lovely welcoming back some of our pupils over the past three weeks but so sad that we have not been able to give our Y6 pupils their usual send off. We wish them all the best of luck on their next journey.  I am sure that you will agree that the years have flown by since they first stepped into their nursery class, but they have given us so many wonderful memories from over the years. They have been a superb group of children to work with and I feel sure that they will all enjoy the next stage in their learning as they move on to Llangatwg, Hendrefelin and Maesydderwen.

We are now looking forward to welcoming more of our pupils back in September.  The start of the year will be a phased approach with children attending every other day from September 3rd until all pupils return together on September 14th. By the end of this week, you will receive a message through Schoop letting you know which days your child is returning on to enable you to plan ahead. Please keep a record of this as we can not publish names with days on the school website.

We were provided with the guidance from Welsh Government late on Monday, so we are still working on the finer details and risk assessments. We must of course be mindful that the situation continues to change and September is still some time away. Clearer guidance will be provided to parents nearer the time, however I felt that there are some things that we can tell you which might help you to get ready over the summer.

  • School uniform will need to be worn.
  • Pupils will be provided with their own bag of pens, pencils etc. Please do not send in pencil cases.
  • Water bottles can be brought to school and will be returned home every day for cleaning.
  • Lunch boxes can be brought into school however we would advise that washable lunch boxes are used.
  • Breakfast club will not begin until at least half term.
  • Only essential items must be brought to school.
  • After school clubs will only resume when it is safe to do so.
  • School dinners will be provided as usual.

I will continue to update parents through Schoop and the school website over the summer should any changes occur. I would like to wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer.  We look forward to seeing all of our pupils safely back in the near future.

Kind regards

Mrs. M. Teague.

Thank you for the community support.

The staff and pupils at Creunant Primary would like say a huge thank you for the wonderful support that we have received from our community this week.

Some time ago Men’s Sheds worked on our raised beds to make them more suitable for planting in. Over the last few weeks staff worked on weeding and painting the area so that the beds could be used for planting in again. With the support of Brian Girling and Kate Hopkins from Crynant Plant we have been donated enough soil to fill the beds and planters to get gardening again. Thank you both for your kind support.

We were also delighted last week to receive a glass house from Mr. Bill Gunnell. With the support of Mr. Alan Thomas, the glass house has been set up and fixed securely in place.

This has already provided many hours of outdoor fun in between the showers for the children who attended school this week.

Men’s Sheds have provided us with a great deal of support from keeping the greenery in shape to creating safe areas for our bins.  We are continuously very grateful for their ongoing support to our school.

Diolch yn fawr Men’s Sheds!
