Important Information
Merry Christmas
The staff would like to thank you all for your Christmas wishes, cards and gifts. We never expect anything from children or parents and are very touched by the gesture. Have a very happy and peaceful break.
Family learning - wellbeing course
An email went out to the parents of children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 on Friday 12th December to announce a new family learning course we are hosting on a Monday afternoon. The course will start on 12th January in school and will be a fun way to learn new skills through conversation and games with your child. If your child is in one of those year groups and you would like to attend a taster session on 12th January, please get in touch with Miss Price on pricec54@hwbcymru.net.
Well done
A huge well done to all of the children in their Christmas concerts last week. We are so lucky to have a community that supports the children and the school, and to have staff who can help children to develop the skills necessary to stand up in front of others with confidence. We hope that you enjoyed them too.
Grandparents' coffee morning
We will be hosting another Grandparents' coffee morning on 16th January. If you would like to book on, please follow this link: Grandparent's Coffee Morning - January 2026 – Fill in form
