• ECO CONFERENCE

  Thu 13 Nov 2025

  Our Year 6 Eco Committee visited Swansea Area today to attend the Green Economy Conference and Exhibition. They enjoyed a range of activities including listening to guest speakers such as the Leader of Swansea Council. They also visited exhibitions and workshop stalls where they spoke to different companies and businesses including Barclays Bank, Castell Howell, Plantasia and Bio Hub, learning about how these companies support school, colleges and businesses to 'grow your career' in an eco friendly way.

  

• SCHOOL VISIT

  Fri 07 Nov 2025

  Today we welcomed Torsten Bell MP to the school. He was blown away when walking around the school and speaking to our Year 6 children who talked about their work on School Council, Criw Cymraeg and Eco Committees. He also had the pleasure of hearing our school song in assembly sung by our Singing Club.

  Dear Parents/Carers, Governors and children

   

  What a fantastic first half term of the new academic year, finishing off in style with our PTA Halloween Disco. A big thank you to our brilliant PTA for all their hard work in organising another fantastic event. A big thank you also to our amazing staff who supported the event and to parents/carers and children for the wonderful effort with Halloween costumes.

   

  I hope everyone enjoyed our recent class assemblies. I am so proud of all the children for how brilliantly they performed, showcasing all the amazing work that has been covered over the last eight weeks. I am sure you’ll agree that we have certainly packed a great deal into this time with trips, visitors, awareness days and much more. Thank you once again to all the staff for their dedication to ensuring the best for all our children in school.
