Dear parents and carers,
So here it is at last, Summer Term, and there is finally some sunshine and warmth in the air! I hope you all had a lovely Easter, ate just the right amount of chocolate and are now looking forward to a long and glorious summer.
It is lovely to welcome the children back into school and to see their bright, smiley faces and we have some exciting and interesting themes being taught across the school which I am sure will capture their enthusiasm to learn.
On to the news!
Covid-19
As the country begins to return to normal following the pandemic schools in Caerphilly have been advised to continue to follow the local risk assessment guidance. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of exposure, we will continue to limit the number of adults in the school, monitor interaction between classes, and staff will continue to wear masks in indoor communal areas.
We greatly appreciate your patience and support. If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
Social Media
We have been made aware of a few incidents of children using social media and messaging apps inappropriately and we are very grateful to the parents who have brought this to our attention.
It is important that our children are kept safe and we strongly advise all parents and carers to carefully monitor the apps and messages that children are accessing.
Curriculum for Wales
Education in Wales is currently undergoing a series of very big changes. From September, we will be teaching children to a new curriculum, The Curriculum for Wales. Rest assured, behind the scenes we have been working extremely hard getting ready for it. Very soon we will share some information with you about this so keep an eye out for it.
