Cardiff City Football Club

It has been a pleasure to welcome a sports coach from Cardiff City Football Club who is taking multiskills sports session with Yellow and Green classes this half-term. He will be working with the rest of our classes in the second half of the term. Although things are not quite back to normal it is good to be able to take some small steps in that direction!

New Caretaker

We are sad to have to say goodbye to Mrs M.Thomas who finished as our caretaker at the beginning of January. I would like to thank her for all of the hard work and the commitment she has shown to our schools, especially during the challenges that came our way during the pandemic, and wish her all the best for the future. We are very pleased to welcome Mr Thackwray as her replacement.

Governors’ Annual Report to Parents 2020-2021

This report has now been published and is accessible via the Governors’ section of the federation’s website (address above).

Book Week

As part of our Book Week celebrations all classes enjoyed a virtual session with the author Nicola Davies who messaged both schools after her sessions to compliment the children (and staff!) for the way in which they interacted with her.

Music Lessons

Payment for this term’s music lessons needs to be made by Friday 28th January. If payment is not received by that date we will assume that you no longer wish your child to receive tuition.

Potential Class Closures

A reminder – Where the staffing levels available in school become unviable there will be the need to temporarily close one or more classes and move to remote learning as a short term solution for those particular groups. This route would only be taken where no other safe option was available. Should this be necessary you will be notified via the school blog, class communication platform (e.g. SeeSaw) and the school texting service. Learning will continue online during the period of class closure.
