Dear Parents and Carers,
As we approach the end of another busy term, I would like to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to all parents, carers and staff for your continued support and hard work. Your partnership with us truly makes a difference, and we couldn’t achieve what we do without you.
Rugby and Football Tournament Success
A big thank you to Mr. Allen and all the parents who helped support the rugby and football teams during this term’s tournaments. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their outstanding achievements. Their hard work and dedication truly paid off, and we congratulate them on their success. A special thank you also goes to Cymru Coaches for providing a free bus to the rugby tournament – your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Sponsorship for Sports Kits
We are currently working on securing sponsors for new rugby, football, and netball kits for our teams. Thank you to the companies who have already stepped forward to help support this initiative. We will keep you updated as we work to ensure our students have the best possible equipment.
Exciting Events in the Coming Term
We are excited about the many events we have planned for next term, including the Leavers Presentation, Nursery Graduation, and Sports Day. These are always highlights in our school calendar, and we look forward to celebrating the achievements of our pupils.
We also want to remind you about our Information Sharing Evening on June 30th, where we will be focusing on Read, Write Inc. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about how we are supporting children with literacy.
End of Term Trip to Ninja Warrior
We are pleased to inform you that we have arranged an end of term trip to Ninja Warrior for the pupils in classes 3 and 4. Once again, we are incredibly grateful to Cymru Coaches for providing the bus free of charge. More details on the trip will follow soon.
Additionally, we are currently in the process of planning an end-of-term trip for classes 1 and 2. We will share more information with you as soon as it is finalised.
Christmas Planning
Although it may feel too early to mention, we wanted to give you advance notice that we have booked tickets for all pupils to see Aladdin at the Swansea Grand Theatre in December. It’s sure to be a magical experience for everyone!
Estyn Inspection Update
We are pleased to report that our recent meeting with Estyn went well. We continue to work closely with both Estyn and the Local Authority to develop our post-inspection action plan. Progress on this plan will be shared with all stakeholders termly, ensuring that we continue to improve and grow as a school.
Progress Meetings
Thank you to all parents who attended the recent progress meetings and for providing such valuable feedback. It was wonderful to hear that you appreciated the greater choice of times and the more detailed data on reading ages. For those parents who were unable to attend, our class teachers will be making phone calls after the half-term break to ensure that you are kept up to date with your child’s progress.
With the final report, which will be sent home later this term, you will also receive a more detailed breakdown of your child’s performance in numeracy and literacy based on the national progress tests that they complete each year. As a school, we are committed to sharing detailed reports with you to keep you fully informed of your child’s progress. If you would like a phone call at any time to discuss your child’s progress, please feel free to complete the form on Schoop or contact the school directly.
Staff Training Day – June 2nd
Please remember that our second staff training day on Read, Write Inc. will be held on Monday, June 2nd. The school will be closed to pupils on this day.
Half Term Break
Finally, we would like to wish all our pupils and their families a very enjoyable half-term break. We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday, June 3rd.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support. Together, we can continue to make this a wonderful learning environment for all our pupils.
Warm regards,
Mrs. M. Teague
