• Easter updates

  Fri 19 Mar 2021

  Dear parents, carers and guardians,

  
  A few parents have asked me what we are doing for Easter this year. Unfortunately at the moment we are not allowed to hold an Easter bonnet parade but if you would like your children to come to school in their own clothes, an Easter outfit or an Easter bonnet on our last day of the spring term, next Thursday 25th March 2021, you are more than welcome.
  
  Also just to remind you all we break up for the Easter holidays next Thursday 25th March 2021. The staff have First Aid training next Friday, so school will be closed to pupils on Friday 26th March 2021. We start back in school on Monday 12th April 2021.
  
  Regards
  Mrs Thomas

• Uniform Grant

  Wed 10 Mar 2021

  Uniform Grant

   

  Dear parents, carers and guardians,

   

  The Welsh Government has announced that the uniform grant will be available for additional year groups between now and 30 June 2021. 

   

  Please note that uniform grant is not for all FSM children, as those who are only Transitionally Protected are not eligible to apply (as this protection is for a free meal only). The existing year groups that can apply for the uniform grant are current Reception, Year 3, Year 7 and Year 10. 

   

  The new year groups that can now apply are current Year 1, Year 5, Year 8, Year 9 and Year 11. All grants are for £125 except for Year 7 which is £200.  The extended grant can be spent on IT equipment such as a laptop as well as uniform. 

   

  All LAC learners can apply, in any year from Reception to Year 11.

   

  The Welsh Government has advised that the applications for the next academic year will go live on 15 July. As it stands, the grant will revert to only covering those going into R, Y3, Y7 and Y10 in September. 

   

  The school uniform grant applications are about to go live.  The Local Authority have indicated that they will send an email to parents who are eligible and have a verified email address on the App.  They will arrange to make payments for asylum seekers via the Home Office and their Aspen Card. 

  This link gives details of the grant:

  Please note that you won’t be able to access the application on that link if you are not eligible or if your email address has not been verified by the school.

   

  Best wishes,

  Mrs Thomas
