    A Lovely Way to End the School Year

    We are delighted to share some wonderful news with our school community as we come to the end of another fantastic year.

    Miss Walters has welcomed her beautiful baby daughter, Delilah, into the world. Mother and baby are doing well, and we couldn't be happier for them.

    On behalf of everyone at Llanrhidian Primary School, we would like to send Miss Walters and her family our warmest congratulations and lots of love as they begin this exciting new chapter together.

    What a lovely way to end the school year – another little member joining the Team Llanrhidian family! 💕👶

    Congratulations, Miss Walters. We can't wait to meet baby Delilah.

    With love from Team Llanrhidian ❤️

     

    Thank You for a Fantastic Year

    As we reach the end of another successful school year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our parents, families and friends for your continued support. Many of you go above and beyond to help our school community, enabling us to provide the very best opportunities for our pupils despite the financial pressures and budget challenges that all schools currently face.

    Llanrhidian Primary School is a truly unique place, and this year has been another year of growth, innovation and improvement. Working together, we have continued to develop exciting opportunities that enrich learning and help our children thrive.

    Over the past year, we have:

    • Developed Y Goedwig as an exciting outdoor learning environment.
    • Planned and progressed our innovative Estuary Education programme, making the most of our unique local environment.
    • Enhanced opportunities in STEM and Design Technology.
    • Expanded our sustainable learning activities, including growing our own vegetables and herbs to be used in the school caffi.
    • Established Pont Rhieni (Parent Bridge) to strengthen communication and collaboration between parents and staff.
    • Improved the quality and range of school trips and enrichment opportunities.
    • Introduced Stay and Play sessions for our Nursery families while we await official childcare registration.
    • Begun developing a dedicated, purpose-built area for Nursery learners.
    • Enhanced the learning environment in Pysgodyn, creating a larger space with more accessible resources for children.

    These are just some of the developments we have achieved together this year.

    Looking ahead, we are excited about the many plans already underway for next year. As we continue to review and refine our curriculum, listen carefully to your views, and respond to the ideas and aspirations of our pupils, we remain fully committed to maintaining the high standards that our school community expects and deserves.

    We would also like to wish our Year 6 pupils every success as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey. You have been wonderful ambassadors for Llanrhidian Primary School and we are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved. We look forward to hearing about your future successes.

    Finally, please note that we will be moving away from our current Instagram platform and will instead be using Seesaw to provide more personalised sharing of your child's learning. However, we will continue to post updates and celebrate school life through Journey of a Gower School. We would be grateful if you could follow and share this platform to help showcase the wonderful experiences, achievements and opportunities that make our school so special.

    Thank you once again for your support throughout the year. Have a wonderful summer break and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting year of learning, growth and adventure.

    Diolch yn fawr, and enjoy the summer! ☀️🌊📚

    Pod Pili-Pala Updates

    From September, Nursery children should be dropped off and collected from the new Nursery classroom doors, which are located at the main entrance to the school. Staff will be available in September to support this transition. To help you prepare, Mrs Parry and Miss Harris have created a video on their Parent Page showing the location of the new entrance and exit. We hope this makes the transition as smooth as possible for everyone.
