  Children’s Mental Health Week
  Children’s Mental Health Week returns this February (9 – 15 ) with the theme ‘This is my place’. Feeling we belong, in our workplaces, friendships, communities, schools or clubs, plays a vital role in our mental health and wellbeing. To mark the week tidyMinds, the regional mental health and wellbeing website created for children and young people living in the region, is working with local services and community organisations to deliver a programme of free wellbeing events and activities for children, young people, parents and carers across Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot. These activities aim to create safe, welcoming spaces where children, young people and their parents and carers can connect, take part in positive experiences, and find out about a range of mental health and wellbeing support services and resources available locally to support children and young people with their
  wellbeing.
  
  In Swansea, tidyMinds is hosting two free events at The Collaboration Station, supported by Swansea Council’s Partnership and Involvement Team who have kindly provided space for both events:

  
  Drop-in Coffee Morning – Wednesday, February 11th from 10:00 am–12:00 pm
  Delivered in partnership with Swansea Parent Carer Forum, this relaxed session is for parents and carers of children and young people with additional needs and disabilities (children welcome).
  A chance to grab a cuppa, a light bite, meet other parents and carers and ask advice from relevant professionals in a friendly and welcoming space.

  
  Wellbeing Fun Day for Children, Young People & Families – Saturday, February 14 from 10:00 am–2:30 pm
  A fun-filled day including wellbeing activities (bath bomb making), circus skills, creative sessions (zine workshop, portraits and collage), face painting, games and more. Cwtch Mawr will also be present with freebies for families. Free refreshments and a free lunch will be available for the first 100 people.

  Dear Parents/Carers, Governors and children

   

  What an incredible year 2025 has been! We’ve rounded it off in style with our wonderful Christmas celebrations. Every one of our Christmas shows has been a joy to watch, showcasing the incredible talent of our amazing children.

   

  A heartfelt thank you to all parents, carers, and Governors for your support throughout 2025. Together, we’ve celebrated achievements, overcome challenges, and continued to make our school a place where every child can be the best they can be. We are so grateful to our team of talented and committed staff, who work tirelessly to ensure our children have the very best experiences. And of course, to our brilliant Sketty Primary children – you have worked so hard this term, we are very proud of you and look forward to seeing your achievement next year.

   

  On behalf of Mrs Phillips, myself and all the staff at Sketty Primary, we would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

   

  Enjoy the festivities and we look forward to doing it all again in 2026 – it’s going to be another exciting year!
