Welcome Back

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome back to the start of the new term following a lovely summer break.  We look forward to working with our Mount Pleasant family over the coming academic year.

Pupils have settled into the school routine exceptionally well and are a credit to you all, they have returned in exemplary uniform, thank you for your support with this. I’d like to welcome our new pupils to Mount Pleasant as they start their learning journey. I look forward to following their progress.

A big thank you to all of the Staff at Mount Pleasant for making the first week of the new term such a happy and exciting one.

I thank you in anticipation of your support.

Yours sincerely,

Fiona Rutledge

Congratulations

Well done to Emma Wild, Sophie Benning and Deacon Williams for being three of the winners of the Rogerstone Community Council Schools competition. Parents, carers and school representatives were invited to the Council Chambers at Ty du Welfare grounds this week to celebrate and receive their prizes. I was thrilled that Mount Pleasant had three winners, well done to everyone who entered. Thanks to Stephen Bowen (Governor and Chair of Rogerstone Community Council) who works tirelessly for the school and community.

After School Clubs

Clubs are due to start Monday 16^th September, a google sign up sheet will go out at 4.00pm on Wednesday 11^th September. Your child will be informed if they have a place in a club this term.
