Tue 06 Dec 2022Dear parent / carer,
Please note the following:
- As you are no doubt aware from the National news, there has been a worrying increase in scarlet fever and invasive streptococcal disease across the UK. More information from health can be found here about signs and symptoms if you are at all conncerned:
NHS 111 Wales - Health A-Z : Scarlet fever
We have been asked to inform health if we have two or more cases here, so keep us informed.
- Christmas jumper day is on Thursday (8th Dec) – anything vaguely festive is fine (don’t go spending unnecessarily – Santa hat, bit of tinsel etc!). Whilst the day is organised by Save the Children…

(link above if you would like to donate), we have decided to support our own community as we are fully aware that many of you are struggling financially at the moment. As such, if you would like to and are able to, we are collecting for the Croesy Food Hub (bank) on Woodland Road. The normal items please – dried food, cereals, tea, coffee tins etc. As a staff, we are also collecting items that are more festive (biscuits, chocolates etc) for the Food Hub – this is an option for you if you would like to. Thanks to Mrs Clark (RR class) for organising this and galvanising us into action!
- Edlogan Way Active Travel Scheme. We are supporting this initiative and have managed to become involved through Year 6 with a view to improving the safety of the road in front of the site and having some free bike racks (we’ve managed to extend the scheme around onto North Road and up to, and including, the path that goes up the right side of the site (looking up the hill)). The issues of parking on the zig-zags / pavement, location of crossing / bus stop etc are ones that I’m sure you would want to help resolve. Also, we’re looking to become fitter and healthier through active travel and help the environment at the same time. If you support all of this, perhaps you could spend 2 minutes filling in the survey below? Thanks!
