Can all candidates please give their name and poster to Mrs Morgan by this date and make sure their posters are in school.  They will be displayed in the hall.

Gowerton School has a series of events that support pupils in the transition from Primary to Secondary. Your son/ daughter has already had the opportunity of visiting Gowerton School last June for the D&T workshops. The next event in the transition process is a presentation at Llanrhidian Primary School on Tuesday 3rd October.  At the end of the school day we would like to invite you to attend a short presentation about transition and Gowerton School. This will include talks from pupils at Gowerton who are past pupils of Llanrhidian. The year 6 pupils will have had a similar presentation at 2:30pm.

Following these presentations there will be the opportunity to discuss Transition with members of our Senior Leadership Team and pupils.  During this time our Welsh teachers will hold a Welsh workshop with your son/daughter, with a short performance of their work at the end of the meeting.

Early in October we will be holding two events in which parents have the opportunity to see a snapshot of life at Gowerton and the facilities we have on offer.  An Open Evening will be held on Tuesday 10th October starting at 6:30pm.  There will be a short presentation in the main hall followed by a guided tour and an opportunity to meet members of staff and pupils.  Also an Open Morning on Thursday 12th October starting at 8:50am and finishing by 10:30am.  This will consist of a short presentation, an opportunity to meet members of staff and Governors plus a tour of the school visiting a variety of lessons. Light refreshments will be provided at both events.

Parents are invited by the City & County of Swansea to apply for a place in Secondary School from 9th October – 1st December.  Applications are made online and parents will be notified on 1st March if they have been successful in their application.  Parents have the right to appeal until 29th March. If parents have any difficulties applying online there will be opportunities to access the internet at Llanrhidian Primary or at Gowerton. Please contact us for further details.

If you are unable to attend any of the planned meetings or wish to discuss any matters further then please do not hesitate to contact me at school.  We look forward to meeting you over the forthcoming months.
