• Art Competition for Refugee Week

  Mon 16 Jun 2025

  As part of Refugee week, we are running a competition for the children to design a Moomin house.
  
  The Moomins are celebrating their 80th anniversary this year, The Moomins and the Great Flood is a story of seeking sanctuary. Tove Janson (the author) was inspired to write the book because she was thinking about people who had to leave their homes because of World War II.
  
  We would like the children to design their own Moomin house, either through a drawing, using the computer, or the children can make their own Moomin house. The winning designs/ models will be placed on the school website and displayed downstairs in our School of Sanctuary area.
  Closing date for entries is Friday 27th June and winners will be announced the following week.
  Good luck!!!!

  

• GOING FOR GOLD

  Thu 12 Jun 2025

  EXCITING NEWS - WE ARE GOLD!!!!
  
  Huge congratulations on achieving the Gold Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus award – a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to your dedication to promoting the Welsh language. Becoming the fifth English medium school in Swansea to receive this award is no small feat, and it’s clear that your vision, commitment, and strong links with parents and the wider community have played a vital role in this success.
  
  The new Welsh enrichment activities were both engaging and fun, and it was inspiring to see the enthusiasm with which they were embraced. The ethos, attitude, and energy of the Criw Cymraeg and staff were truly inspirational – a shining example of what can be achieved through passion and teamwork.
  
  Diolch o galon i bawb – thank you all once again for such a memorable visit. I look forward to seeing how your Welsh language journey continues to flourish. Bendigedig!

• APRIL NEWSLETTER

  Wed 30 Apr 2025

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  Summer is well and truly upon us as we say goodbye to the month of April. The children have all returned to school so happy, enthusiastic and excited for the Summer Term and have already begun planning their learning for their new topics with their teachers. The warm weather has definitely helped and it has been lovely to see the children exploring the outdoors in the sunshine this week.

   

  Before the holidays we celebrated Autism Awareness Day and learnt about the Easter story, welcoming Rev Layfetta Masih from All Saints Church. We are very grateful to have such wonderful links with the community.

   

  A huge thank you to our PTA who organised the Rainbow Raffle and to everyone who donated towards it. 20 lucky winners were chosen by our Year 6 School Council and hampers delivered to them before the end of term. An amazing amount of money was raised which will help to benefit the children across the school. Diolch pawb!!

   

  Onwards to the final term of this academic year and I guarantee you it is going to be busy with trips, Sports Days and performances planned.

   

  Reminder that school is closed for pupils on Friday 2nd May (INSET) and Monday 5th May (Bank Holiday).

   

  Kind Regards

  Mr Simon Lloyd-Jones
