Update 24.10.2025
Dear parent / carer,
Please note the following:
- Children return after half term on the Monday, 3rd Nov.
- As a school, we are once again delighted to support the Royal British Legion with their Poppy Appeal and, with your help, raise money for a very worthwhile cause. If you would like to support this year’s Poppy Appeal, please send cash in with your child and they will be able to make their donation and pick an item which will be available to buy from next half term, Mon 3rd Nov (poppies, zip pull, wristband, poppy reflector and, the ever popular, slap-band!). All donations gratefully received with a suggested minimum donation of £1 for a Poppy and slap-band and 50p for all other items.
- Thanks for all the contributions to the food bank. We will organise another collection pre-Christmas.
- Individual photo’s on the Thur / Fri first week back (6th and 7th Nov) – siblings in school will be photographed together but, if you want a shot with a sibling not in school, please contact Mrs Hughes (kirsty.hughes@torfaen.gov.uk) to arrange an appointment after school.
See you after half term!
All the best.
SB
