Update 15.09.2022
Fri 16 Sep 2022Dear parent / carer,
I hope that you had a good Summer and that your children have settled well into school. From our perspective, we’ve had a great start – the new staff (Miss McGiveron Year 6, Miss White Year 5, Miss Deakin Year 1 and Miss Sweeting Nursery) and the new children have made a great start and we are back up and running at full speed. We have now, hopefully, put Covid behind us and can look to get parents regularly back into school. As part of this, Merit assemblies will start again from tomorrow (16.09) in the juniors and from next Friday in the infants. Arrangements as follows:
- Merit assembly Juniors – Friday at 11:15a.m.
- Merit assembly Infants – Friday at 10:15a.m.
- Parents / carers are invited to the assembly via the certificate taken home on the Thursday prior to the assembly – if you would like to come but need more notice, we can roll the merit over to another Friday. If more than one of your children get a merit on the same day and they are in different buildings (infant /junior) you can come to the one assembly and we will do both if you would like us to! Your call.
Please also note the following:
- 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:
- Sweets – please don’t buy sweets for your child to distribute on their birthday – we are trying to encourage the children to be healthier!! Also, whilst a treat is of course acceptable, cakes are an issue for us as we have several children with extreme allergies (really serious) and monitoring the ingredients is an issue for us. What I would encourage, however, is non school uniform for your child on their birthday! If they would like to wear their favourite dress, fancy dress or football outfit, then crack on!
Upcoming dates on the school website (link below).
All the very best,
Simon Bates

Dance-a-thon!
Tue 13 Sep 2022Croesy Dance-a-thon
On Thursday 22nd/ Friday 23rd September in the afternoon ,we are looking to hold a fundraising event as part of our partnership with Sports for Champions (Dance for a defibrillator).
As well as supporting young athletes, we hope to receive a visit from an Olympic athlete at the end of the month! Funds raised will also be put towards a defibrillator that we would like to keep in the school grounds.
Defibrillators can save the life of someone suffering a heart attack and can increasingly be found on High Streets and in public recreation areas. Our Sport’s council believe that schools should also have them and have suggested to raise funds to allow this to happen!
Please follow the link below to see the video that contains more details about the sponsored event

A big thanks already for donations received using the ‘crowdfunder’ link posted on Class Dojo a few weeks ago. Sponsor forms will come home with children shortly if cash donations are preferred.
Please note - there is NO obligation to pledge sponsor ship and no children will miss out if they are unable to collect any sponsors. J We hope to just do what we can.
Thanks for your support!
