TEST DATES YEARS 2 to 6 – This year’s statutory tests for pupils in years 2 to 6 will take place between Wednesday 2nd May and 9th May. These tests are statutory, that is to say every child in the relevant age groups must sit them and they can only be administered during the official time period above. Therefore, we do not expect any children in years 2 to 6 to be on holiday during the period of the tests and 2 weeks beforehand. The school will not authorise holidays taken by pupils during this period. For further information about the national tests, visit the Welsh Government’s Learning Wales Website at www.learning.gov.wales.
MUSIC LESSON VACANCIES. We have one vacancy each for Piano, Harp and Violin – forms are available from the office on Monday and spaces are offered on a first come, first served basis.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Elaine Gelling, Acting Headteacher
