Dear Parents and Carers,
Great News!!
Our Attendance now stands at 92.4% (slightly up again from last week)
Swansea Target 95%
Llanrhidian Target 96%
We are now hurtling towards the end of term and a huge thank you to those who have returned their raffle tickets and have donated to the hampers. I cannot emphasise enough how each pound helps us. Our budget for the next financial year means that there is little money available for those extras that we feel our pupils deserve. So please help us by paying the amser tost fund, breakfast club payments and supporting us with our community events. Each pod raises money for its own resources, and the pupils have a voice in what they feel they need.
As we are committed to reducing pupil screen time, and improving their collaboration skills, we are looking to purchase more board games and puzzles for wet lunch times. If you have any good quality items that you do not need or want, we would be most grateful. Please send them in to your pod.
As austerity is hitting us all, it is so important that we look after what we have. Pupils are doing brilliantly in terms of "re-setting" their environment and valuing their resources. Well done everyone!
Just a reminder that school starts at 8.50 and staff must be taking the register by 8.55. If you arrive later than this (including on Caffi Cynefin day) please ring the buzzer and go through the office as staff cannot leave their classes to come and take your child from you. For your convenience staff are on duty from 8.40.
Statutory school session times dictate the following times.
Reception to Year 2
Drop off 8.40 to 8.50
Pick up 3.20 to 3.30
Year 3 to Year 6
Drop off 8.40 to 8.50
Pick up 3.25 to 3.30
Here are the headlines this week:-
Easter Eggstravaganza Day March 30th - This event will run from 2pm (Gates open from 1.30pm). Please come to the front yard where you will be able to watch the Easter Bonnet Parade. After the parade the pupils will return to their pods. If you would like to collect them at this point just stand in the usual pick up place and the teachers will see you. Caffi Cynefin will be open all day on this day, and in the afternoon we will also sell take out drinks and ice cream. Let's hope for sunshine. Easter raffle will be drawn on Wednesday 29th March.
