Annwyl Parents and Carers,

Despite the soggy September skies here in Llanrhidian, the learning has been anything but dampened! From toasting s’mores in Y Goedwig to enthusiastic sign-ups for our Pupil Voice groups, it’s been a week full of energy and engagement.

We’re thrilled to announce that Caffi Cynefin is back in action—and what a start! Our new Year 4 pupils have stepped into their roles with confidence and care, helping to create a welcoming space for all. As part of our ongoing celebration of creativity and community, we’re once again inviting contributions to our Oriel Cynefin gallery. If you have artwork or photography you’d like to share, we’d love to display it in our hall. It’s a wonderful way to showcase the talents and stories of our school family.

Be sure to check out the updated ‘Dates at a Glance’ section on our website, where you’ll find newly added events—including the date for our Autumn Term Parents Evening. More details will be shared with you very soon, including how to book an appointment.

Pod Open Evening – Monday 6th October

We warmly invite all parents and carers to join us for our annual Pod Open Evening. This informal event offers a fantastic opportunity to explore your child’s learning journey at Llanrhidian. You’ll be able to:

• Chat with teachers
• Browse your child’s books and digital projects
• Ask questions about our curriculum and classroom life

Unlike our formal Autumn and Spring Term Parents Evening, this event has a relaxed atmosphere where your child can proudly guide you through their school experience. No booking is required—just drop in anytime between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm.

Please note: due to the open nature of the event, teachers won’t be able to hold private discussions about individual pupils. These conversations are best saved for our scheduled Parents Evening later in the term.
