SCHOOL TRIPS/VISITS

We have taken the opportunity to review the experiences that we are offering the children. We have previously spread the cost of the year’s trips and visits over the 6 terms and found that we didn’t receive enough money across the year to make it a viable option. Therefore, we have decided that we will now ask for contributions on a trip/visit by trip/visit basis

We have always been very proud as a school to offer a great range of trips and experiences to all our pupils and will to continue to subsidise them as much as we can, as we know they are very important to all the children..  Rest assured we do work hard to get the best value for money where we can. Whilst we know we are living in difficult economic times, if we do not receive sufficient contributions towards the trips and visits, we will unfortunately have to cancel them. This would be a great shame as the children get so much out of these experiences. 

​

We have sent letters home this week with details of trips/visits for all the year groups. They are live on ParentPay now and we ask that make as much contribution as you are able to avoid disappointing the children. Please return your permission slips ASAP.

CHILDREN IN NEED

This year we will again be raising money for Children in Need on Monday, 18 November 2024. We understand that the official date for Children in Need is Friday, 15 November, however due to the Morfa Bay residential trip taking place that week, we have chosen to hold our fundraiser the following week so everyone can take part.

 

To do this, we will be having a pyjama day in school on Monday 18 November and an a Bake Sale after school on Tuesday 19 November.

​

We are asking for Donations via ParentPay to support this worthwhile cause, using the link below:

​​​SWIMMING - MALLARD

We have organised swimming sessions for Mallard Class, starting on Monday 18 November.  There has been a change to the original plan to split the class, they will now all be going together. 

 

The lessons will take place on Monday afternoons between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm and run for 9 weeks, with the last lesson on Monday, 10 February 2025.

 

We were originally asking for contributions of £3 per session (£15 for the 5 weeks) towards the cost of the swimming for your child, this is live on ParentPay. this cost has not changed even though the children will be attending lessons for 9 weeks.  Please contribute what you can to help with the costs.
