Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear Parent/Carer
Important changes to School Meals Online Payments
The Local Authority has informed us that the online payment provider for school meals and trips is changing from September. We will no longer be using sQuid, and the new provider will be CRB Cunningham’s.
We advise that you run the balances down before the end of term, as school meal accounts will start from a ‘fresh’ £0.00 balance in September.
Next steps:
There will be no after school clubs this week including choir. We will resume a summer clubs programme soon.
Due to unforeseen circumstances we will have to cancel choir and music makers tomorrow.
Please can the children who attend these clubs be collected at 3.20pm
Due to a family bereavement dance with Zack is cancelled today.
We hope it will resume next week.
Please can you arrange for your child to be collected at 3.20pm today.
The school is closed tomorrow to all pupils due to strike action.
Choir will be cancelled tomorrow as Mrs Crabb is on a course.
Our children have been talking about the devastation of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and would like to do something to help them. Therefore, tomorrow will be a NON UNIFORM day and we ask that everyone makes a donation on this link. All staff will too. However small, all donations will help immensely. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Please note that the NEU strike planned for 14th February has now been postponed until 2nd March.
We are expecting a more detailed statement from the Welsh Government later today.

It will run at the same time as the Parent Curriculum meeting which will take place in the hall.
Please can we remind you that absences need to be reported on the school absence mail box by 9.30am on the 1st and 3rd day of absence from school. A reason for absence must be provided.
