  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  It most certainly has been a very busy 2024 finished off with our wonderful Christmas celebrations. All of our Christmas shows have been amazing, showcasing, how talented our children and staff are. Don't forget to tune into Radio BBC Wales at 8am on Christmas morning to hear the wonderful concert our Year 6 were part of performing at the Brangwyn Hall.

   

  A big thank you to parents, carers, and Governors for all your support this year, working in partnership is a strength of our school and we thank our wonderful PTA for organising fabulous events we can all enjoy. I am grateful for a very talented committed staff who work so hard, ensuring our children get the best experiences they can. And to our wonderful Sketty Primary Children! It is a privilege to be their Head teacher and I can’t wait to see what they'll get up to in the New Year.

   

   

  I wish you a very Happy Christmas and pray for a peaceful New Year for us all. Please enjoy the festivities and try to rest a little in readiness to do it all again in 2025!!! It's going to be busy!!!!!!! Kind

   

  Regards

  Mrs Bev Phillips

  Headteacher

  Change the specialism of 3 STFs
  The opening of 5 new Special Teaching Facilities and expansion of a further 4
  The closure of 5 Special Teaching Facilities

  26.11.24 School Council meeting with Swansea Council

   

  School Council representatives share their views for Swansea Council 2025 Play Sufficiency Assessment

   

  On Tuesday 26^th November representatives of School Council were invited to take part in Swansea Council’s Play Sufficiency Assessment.

   

  Pupils had an interactive engagement session with Leanna Cresi from Swansea Council and shared their views on how they feel about play.

   

  In recognition of the importance of play in every child’s healthy development, the Welsh Government placed a statutory duty on every local authority to assess whether there are sufficient opportunities to play.

   

  This Play Sufficiency Assessment (PSA) 2024 is due to be submitted in 2025.

  The data will be analysed and ready for submission in June 2025. The responses given will help shape play in Swansea for the next 3 years!

  Da iawn bawb!

  Parent session - Inclusability

  If you are attending the parent session after school today, (and need childcare) can you please collect your children from school as normal, then bring them round to the computer room, where we will meet you and take them to another room.
  Those parents who have children in clubs, we will aim to finish at 4.15pm, so this doesn't interrupt with picking your child up.
   

   

   

  Huge thank you to Anthony from Inclusability, who came into school on Friday to do an assembly with the children.
  
  The children listened well and some were brave enough to share about their own disabilities, and how they were different, which was lovely to hear them being so confident in front of all their friends.
  
  Don't forget the parent session is after school today, in the Computer Room (next to Y5MW).
  See you at 3.30pm!! We will finish by 4.15pm so if you do have children in after school clubs, you can collect them.
  
  If you do need childcare, please email me on millerj67@hwbcymru.net
