Annwyl Rhieni a Gofalwyr,
It was so lovely to see our school community come together during Parent’s Evening to celebrate your child’s progress and learning. Working as a team to support our pupils is a vital part of helping them be the very best they can be — thank you for being part of that journey.
🎟️ Christmas Raffle Tickets
Keep an eye out next week — Christmas Raffle tickets will be coming home with your child! This is one of our favourite raffles of the year, and we’re so grateful for your support in raising vital funds for our school.
🎄 Christmas Concert Tickets – On Sale Soon!
Tickets for our much-anticipated Christmas Concerts will be released on Wednesday 12th November, available exclusively via iPay.
If you’re not yet set up on iPay, please contact the school office as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to reserve tickets for families who haven’t completed their iPay setup.
🗓️ Weekly Pod Updates & School Calendar
We’ve listened to your feedback! To reduce the number of emails you receive, we’ve introduced ‘Pod Update’ sections below — these will remain on the blog weekly and include key information for your child’s pod. Remember, our blog is never deleted and can always be used as a reference part.
Don’t forget: our school website calendar is always up to date with upcoming events. You can even subscribe to it so it syncs with your personal calendar — never miss a date again! (This can be found at the bottom of the blog).
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
#TeamLlanrhidian

Mrs Gosney 🌟Positive Noticing Day 🌟
During Positive Noticing Day we will be celebrating the power of kindness and connection! 💛 Watch the heartwarming story Have you filled a Bucket Today? to discover how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Every kind word or thoughtful gesture helps fill someone’s bucket — and fills yours too!
Let’s take time to notice the good in others and spread positivity throughout our school and community. What will you do today to fill someone’s bucket?

🏫 Welsh Government: Help with School Costs 💸
New term, new worries?
🚌 Will they catch the bus?
🥪 Is the lunch packed?
👟 Is it PE today?
🧥 Do they need a warmer coat?
We get it — school mornings can be chaotic. But stressing about affording the essentials doesn’t have to be part of your routine.
The School Essentials Grant offers up to £200 to help with costs like uniform, shoes, and school bags — so you can focus on what really matters. 💙
