Summer update

Dear all,

Welcome to my first blog! It’s out with the old and in with the new; out with the newsletters and in with the blog!

I will update my blog on a regular basis and the notifications which I used to put on my newsletters will be stored on this new website instead.

Goodbyes

We say goodbye to a number of special people this year. Our wonderful Year 6 pupils leave to begin the next phase of their school careers in secondary schools. Mrs Fender is leaving to pursue a more relaxed approach to life. Mrs Evans has left to develop her own business. Mr Lloyd has left to undertake a Master’s Degree in Psychology.

Celebrations

During the summer holidays Miss Davies will be returning to school in September as Mrs Hellier, as she is getting married. We wish Miss Davies the very best of luck and look forward to greeting Mrs Hellier next term.

Questionnaires

The link to the questionnaires to gather parents’ and carers’ views has been sent out on dojo. It will close on July 31st, please take ten minutes to complete this, your views are used to help us improve the school. The link is https:/myvoice.swansea.education/

Fund Raising

The Parents’ Association has once again been working very hard to raise funds to develop the quads which the infant children use for their learning. Thanks to their hard work this term over £4,000.00 has been raised. What an amazing achievement. A big thanks to everyone who helped and supported in all the events.

Mrs Bewley-Taylor braved the shave this afternoon and looked as beautiful with cropped hair as she did with long hair. Well done to Mrs Bewley Taylor for being so brave. She has raised over £2,000.00 for MacMillan Cancer and has donated her hair to the The Little Princess Trust for it to be made into a wig.

Premises

Once again this summer we will be having building work undertaken within the school and the grounds. A ramp for push chair and disables access is being placed between the junior and infant areas. The path outside the junior classrooms, as you come down the steps, is being widened. The reception and year one toilets are being refurbished and remodeled to create additional teaching and learning spaces. We are continuing with the window replacement and the nursery window is being replaced. The computer suite and library s being remodeled to provide an additional teaching and learning space in the junior area. The additional teaching and learning areas will be used as creative teaching and learning areas for classes to use for independent learning, focusing on challenges

I would like to thank you all for your continued support, which is always received very gratefully. I wish you all a very happy summer break and hope you are able to have some wonderful family time and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday September 4th 2018.
