update 21.02.2024
Please note the following:
- St David’s Day is a week Friday, 1st March. We will have Eisteddfod celebrations in both buildings. Children to dress in anything Welsh themed (rugby shirts, traditional costume etc) or anything in the Welsh colours (red, green, yellow).
- Uniform shop – Year 6 will be running a uniform sale every Monday from 2:45 – 3:15 in the small room at the front of the site (on the way to the main reception area). We will not be charging for the clothes but you may want to, if you are able, give a donation. This is entirely up to you – any money we raise will go towards subsidising school trips etc. In terms of stock, we have already had lots of contributions (many thanks) but if your child is leaving the school or has outgrown their uniform, could you please wash it and bring it in to the school office (assuming it is in good condition). We’re hoping that this will not only help you financially going forward, but will help to make the school and community a little bit more sustainable and environmentally friendly!
- World Book Day is on Thursday 7th March this year and we will, as ever, do a range of literary based activities on this day. However, we are conscious that the ‘dress as a book character’ element of the day may involve you feeling pressured into buying a new outfit and, equally, we are fully aware that many of you are struggling financially at the moment with the current cost of living issues. As such, as an alternative, your child(ren) can come to school on this day in something ‘comfy’ that they could settle down in to read a book. If you are all set with an outfit then this is great, but if not, and you’d like to save some money, this may be a good option for you.
- The school are once again supporting the Marie Curie Charity (Marie Curie | The UK’s leading end of life charity). If you would like to contribute to this cause, we have daffodil badges available in exchange for a donation (children to bring in old style money on this one!).
