Friday 26th February

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The sun has been shining this week as we see our youngest pupils return to school. Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils are very quickly getting back into the swing of school life. Key Stage 2 are continuing to do an outstanding job with home learning, we are extremely proud of our whole school community. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for working with us throughout these difficult times. As soon as I receive any information about the return to school for our Key Stage 2 pupils I will send updated details.

Thank you for following our return to school guidance when dropping off and collecting children from school. Everyone has been wearing masks, social distancing and making sure their children don’t use the play equipment before and after school. We appreciate your support and are looking forward to a happy and successful term.

Please take care of yourselves and stay safe.

Yours sincerely

Miss Fiona Rutledge

SMOKE FREE SCHOOL GROUNDS – 1st March 2021 (from Public Health Wales)

You may be aware that there are new laws being introduced across Wales on 1st March, which build on the smoking ban introduced in 2007.  The new laws will cover spaces where children and young people spend their time – such as school grounds and public playgrounds, as well as the outdoor areas of children’s daycare and childminding settings. Hospital grounds will also be part of the new legislation.

 

PARENT CONSULTATIONS

Parental consultations Spring Term – We usually would be inviting parents to a consultation this term to discuss their child’s work. Once we know where we are with returning to school we will schedule these consultations via telephone. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the class teacher or the school office. Further information to follow next week.
