Cost of living crisis
School Uniform Shop - every Monday at 2:45 at school (at the very front of the main building near where Breakfast Club go in)
Year 6s run a ‘shop’ of second hand uniform that parents supply when their child has grown out of it – it’s all washed and in good condition! There’s no prices for anything – if you would like to ‘buy’ some clothes you can donate some cash to school fund if you choose to but, basically, it’s free to a good home! Through this we are also trying to be a bit more sustainable and eco-friendly!
Subsidies - we discount certain trips (e.g. Gilwern residential trip) using our Welsh Government Pupil Deprivation Grant - to access these subsidies you need to be eligible for free school meals. As such, even if you don't want a free meal for your child, sign up!! The school subsidises certain trips (e.g. the Christmas panto trip) through money raised by the PTA through discos etc.
Trips - we sometimes survey parents to see which trip they'd prefer (or both) - we'll go with the majority!
Individual issues - for example, you can't pay for your child's trip until the end of the month. Let me know - we can help sort things if we know about them.
