Dear Parent, With the school breaking up for the summer holidays on Friday, 16th July at 3.30pm, it just remains for me to say a few big ‘thankyous’ for what has been another excellent year here at the school.I would like to congratulate the classroom staff for the tremendous grades they achieved in the quality of teaching and very high standards that the inspectors witnessed being produced by the children during those lessons. Thanks to yourselves as parents for your support during the inspection and the governors also for the input that they had. The children were keen that the school was successful and this was a pleasure for all of us at the school. Emotions stirred by the Infants Christmas Concert and the Juniors Carol Service, were as strong as ever and the outstanding performances that the children gave in our very own Wozard of Iz is a credit to them and the staff that work so hard to prepare them for the show.DVD’s of which are on sale now for £3.00, see Mrs.Lisa Davies in Class 3. The sporting teams competed well with the rugby team getting to the final of the Small Schools’ Cup and the cricket team performing particularly well again to reach the semi final of the Mid Glamorgan County Championships.The school has grown over the course of the year. From November we will have a pre nursery class which will be lead by Mrs. Sian Williams from Class 1, allowing us to take in all three year olds after their third birthday throughout the forthcoming year. A variety of trips have enhanced the children’s learning but not always been smiled upon by the weather. A number of improvement projects are planned both internally and externally to the school over the next few weeks and, during the autumn term, we hope to go ahead with an extension stretching out from Class 2 towards the picnic tables, giving our infant children more space in which to learn through the foundation phase strategies. The new PTA Committee have been very active this year and have done tremendously well with fundraising. The disco last night made a profit of £300. Thanks to you all.A big thanks to all you parents who have supported the school so well again this year, helping us to help your children. At the end of the year it is always sad to say goodbye to our Year 6 pupils, all bar one of whom are going to Y Pant Comprehensive. They have been a pleasure to have at the school and we wish them all the best for a happy and successful future. Don’t forget Year 6, whether you are successful academically or sportingly, we want to hear from you.I would also like to say a thank you and a goodbye to Mrs. Jenny Prewett, who has been working in Class 6 in the mornings for a couple of years now and has been a valued member of the team during this time. Finally could you please note that we have been advised from Catering Services that meal prices will increase from September 1st to £9.25 per week, £1.85 per meal. I would like to wish you all a very happy and safe summer holiday and look forward to seeing you and the children back at school on Monday, September 6th.Yours faithfully,Mike Emanuel (Head Teacher)
