A Warm Welcome Back
We’re delighted to welcome everyone back to school after the summer break. It’s been a busy start to the term, but it’s truly wonderful to see the school full of energy once again. A special welcome to all the new pupils and families who have joined our school community this year — we’re so pleased to have you with us.
Over the summer, we trialled a Schoop form for queries while the school was closed. This form is now closed, but please remember that you can still use the usual contact form on Schoop to get in touch with your child’s class teacher or to ask any questions.
Welcoming Our New Family Engagement Officer
This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Ceri-Marie Jones, our new Family Engagement Officer, to the team. Ceri brings a wealth of experience in supporting families and will be working to create exciting opportunities for parents and carers to engage with their children through in-school sessions and after school clubs.
We’re also inviting parents to meet with Ceri to share ideas on how we can further develop our community here in Crynant. If you have a little time to spare, please join us for a coffee and a chat on Thursday morning — your ideas could help make a real difference. Ceri will be available in our open evening on Monday if you have any further questions.

Breakfast Club Success
Thank you to all families for your efforts in getting children to school on time each day. It’s been fantastic to see so many pupils enjoying Breakfast Club — a great way to start the day with friends and a healthy meal.
Nursery children are now welcome to join too! Breakfast Club runs from 8:10 to 8:30am.
Feelgood Fridays
Last year’s Wellbeing Wednesdays have evolved into Feelgood Fridays! Every other Friday, we celebrate pupil achievements, and on alternating Fridays, we focus on friendship and wellbeing.
Pupils are randomly selected to nominate a friend who has shown kindness or support that week. Take a look at this week’s nominations — it’s heartwarming to see the thoughtful things our pupils say about one another.
After School Clubs
Our after school clubs have had a fantastic start, with around 45 children attending each evening. It’s been lovely to see so many pupils having fun and trying new activities.
PE Days Reminder
Please ensure your child comes dressed appropriately for PE on the following days:
- Monday – Class 1
- Tuesday – Class 2
- Thursday – Class 3
- Friday – Class 4
Stay Updated
Keep an eye on the school website for upcoming dates and events. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share it with you.
Finally, if you are out and about this weekend, please could you collect things for our mud kitchen. We are looking for things such as conkers, acorns, small sticks, bark, shells etc.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Mrs. M. Teague
