Annwyl Parents and Carers,
What a fantastic event we had yesterday at our Marchnad Harvest! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success — from pumpkin picking to conker soap, we truly had it all! Events like this remind us just how special our community is, coming together to give our pupils the chance to be the best we can be.
We also had a brilliant Movie Night this week, which was a real treat for the children. Their smiles said it all! A heartfelt thank you to all our amazing volunteers who made it happen — your time and care mean so much.
It’s been a busy half term, and there’s still plenty to look forward to! Be sure to check out the Dates at a Glance section below to keep your diaries up to date.

Thank you for being part of our vibrant school community — we couldn’t do it without you!
Have a great weekend,

Pengwin: I liked it when we dipped the apples in chocolate! It went all over my face!
Pysgodyn: I enjoyed the pumpkin picking - it as really fun and Mrs Marchant and Mrs Caswell were dressed as giant pumpkins!
Pry Cop: I loved the chocolate spoons and learning how to wrap the mugs. You had to be careful with the mould because some broke but that meant we could eat them!

At Llanrhidian Primary, we know that every school day is a chance for your child to thrive. Regular attendance helps children feel part of the rhythm of learning, build strong friendships, and grow in confidence. We love to notice and celebrate those everyday wins like when a child shows kindness, takes part in a new activity, or simply enjoys being part of the class community. Each week, our very own Captain Attendance visits the pods to share updates and celebrate attendance achievements with their peers, turning good habits into proud moments. When children are here, they’re not just learning they’re making memories, and we’re proud to notice and celebrate every step of their journey.
