Update 19.07.22
Dear parent / carer,
I hope that you are surviving this crazy heat – we are doing our best to keep the buildings, children and staff from overheating, but we are flagging a bit! Roll on some fresher weather (tomorrow I believe).
A few points to note:
- Universal free meals for all Rec, Year 1 and 2 pupils (in September). You can sign up and pick and choose on a day by day basis. If you are interested, please register using the following link:
- Dates for next year – amended to include a year 2 performance – attached. We break up this Friday (3:15p.m – normal time) and the children are back on Tue 6th September. There has been talk of a 6th teacher training day in The Press and we have just been informed that this may well be the case, but it won’t be confirmed until January 2023. I’ll keep you posted but I think it’s very likely that there will be confirmation at this time (the minister seems committed to it). As such, you may wish to pencil in Friday 23rd June 2023 in for a long weekend as this will be the date, should it happen!
- Staffing – there will be quite a move around in September. Mr Lowe has secured an assistant head job in Kymin View / Llandogo (Monmouth), Miss Brown a senior post in Glanusk (Newport) and Miss Powell is going travelling to Australia! We have 3 new teachers starting in Sept with Miss McGiveron in Year 6, Miss White in Year 5 and Miss Deakin in Year 1. Mrs Barton is also moving on to follow her heart working with ALN pupils, and is moving down the road to Crownbridge. We are currently advertising for a new LSA so, if interested, go to the school webpage and follow the ‘About our School’ ‘Vacancies’ tabs. We wish all our leavers the very best in their new jobs and thank them for their fantastic energy, commitment and expertise over the years!! You will be missed.
All the best – enjoy the Summer!
Simon Bates
