No School for pupils tomorrow, Friday 18th February – As you will remember, following a change from the Welsh Government to our January training days to Covid planning days, we now have two rearranged Teacher Training days. The school will be closed for pupils tomorrow, Friday 18th February 2022 and Tuesday 26th April 2022.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi – We will celebrate St David’s Day on Tuesday 1st March. On this day we would welcome children to attend school wearing traditional Welsh costume, Wales rugby or Football kits, or anything red to celebrate.

World Book Day – This year, World Book Day is on Thursday 3rd March. In order to celebrate we would like to invite children to dress up as their favourite character from a book or story on Friday 4th March when we will celebrate the day.

After School Clubs (Football and Tennis, years 5 and 6) – Clubs will commence for children who were already previously attending after half term from Monday 7th March 2022. Below is a reminder of days and times;

Mondays (Starting on the 7th March) Girls Football 3:15-4:15

Wednesdays (Starting on the 9th March) Mixed Football 3:15-4:15

Mondays (Starting 7th March) Tennis 3:15-4pm.

School Absences– If your child is unwell, please do not send them to school. Attendance is so important to your child’s education but the current climate continues to prove challenging managing illnesses and absences. If your child is unwell, please email, text or call school before 9:30am. Please ensure you give a reason for absence so that we can update our registers accordingly. We appreciate your support with this.

Medication – If your child needs medication during the school day please ensure you do not send them with any medicine in their bag. Please could you contact the school office to arrange for an adult to visit school and administer the medication at lunchtime. Thank you.

School Meals – please ensure that you pay for any meals in advance via Parent Pay.  Free School Meals – if you feel your child/ren may be eligible for Free School Meals, please apply on-line via the Conwy County Borough website following this link (the application form is at the bottom of the page) –
