Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope that your children are looking forward to joining us very soon. We wanted to write to you to give
you some information about our Move up Day on Wednesday 5th July and the upcoming parents’ evening later
that day.
The move up day will start at 9am on Wednesday 5th July and will end at 2.50pm. Students will be welcome to
arrive on site no earlier than 8.50am. They will make their way to the yard at the back of our main building.
Please could we ask that you make your own transport arrangements for this day? We would also advise
confirming transport arrangements with your child’s primary school before making final plans. We ask that
parents use our drop off area in our school car park for this purpose. There will be several members of
Croesyceiliog School staff and students available to guide the students to the correct assembly point in school.
We would also ask that parents do not enter our school buildings with the students on this occasion to allow
key staff to focus on settling the students and ensuring a smooth and prompt start to the day.
During Move up Day, your child will take part in a variety of taster lessons and they will have a tour of the
school to familiarise themselves with the school buildings. We would like the students to wear their sports
kits and trainers and they should bring their own pencil case. They will also need to dress for the weather
conditions on the day. It would be a good idea to label belongings that might be left behind during the day for
example their school bags and coats.
School will provide a slice of pizza for each student at lunchtime. Students can choose to bring a packed lunch
on the day. Water will be available; students should bring their own drinks bottles. Please could you advise us
of any dietary requirements or allergies?
Before the children come to Croesyceiliog School, parents and carers need to have completed our data form.
We will need this information to keep the children safe and to allow us to share important information with
you via email over the next few weeks. You should have received an email from us with the link to complete
them last month.
For the parents’ evening on Wednesday 5th July, we will need to keep the numbers as low as possible and so
we ask that a maximum of two people per family attend the event and that the students stay at home unless
there are childcare issues. There will be limited parking on school site, so it would be helpful if some families
could walk to the school if you live close to us. Crownbridge school have kindly agreed to our use of their car
park for the evening. The parents’ evening will take place in our sports hall and staff and students will be on
hand to direct you as you arrive.
We are really looking forward to seeing you all soon and here are some important dates and times for the
next few weeks
Wednesday July 5th 9.00am until 2.50pm – Croesyceiliog School Move up Day
Wednesday July 5th 5.00pm – Croesyceiliog School transition parents’ evening
Please get in touch if you have any questions about our Move up Day arrangements. You can email our
Wellbeing Administration officer directly using D.Ashley@croesy.schoolsedu.org.uk , the dedicated Year 6
email address 2023@croesy.schoolsedu.org.uk or telephone our main reception team on 01633 645900.
Yours faithfully,
Croesyceiliog School Transition Team
