ECO SCHOOLS GREEN FLAG AWARD

Congratulations!!!!!!

The school was today awarded the Eco Schools Green Flag for the work that the children have done to improve their environment and their understanding of the World. This is a very prestigious award and reflects the hard work of everyone but especially the Eco Committee, Mrs. Street, Mrs. Price and Miss Jervis who have worked really hard over the last three years to achieve this.

The children were fantastic in speaking to the assessors and they are now thinking about where to put the flag pole.

I am really proud and know that parents will be, too

Da iawn.

Wednesday 23rd January - SCHOOL CLOSED

I am very sorry but Governors and I have taken the decision to close today. We struggled yesterday to be the only school in the area to open but there is more snow today than there was yesterday. Also BBC are still forecasting further snow this morning.

The forecast for tomorrow is better so we will look forward to having a normal day on Thursday.

The decision to close is never taken lightly but we have to consider the safety of the pupils and staff getting to and from the school site.

Thanks for your support yesterday.

Snow Update

A big thank you to all of you who got into school today, staff and children, and to those who helped with the snow clearing this morning.With snow falling tonight, I do not know what the situation will be tomorrow but if we can open safely, with enough staff as today, we will. I will make a decision in the morning and text and blog by 7.30am.

Once again, many thanks to all of the staff for ensuring that we could open today.

Monday 21st January

School will be open tomorrow for pupils unless there is further snow tonight. I drove up to the school this morning and the main roads are fine. Care needs to be taken on the estate as roads have not been cleared and I would suggest that parents avoid driving up to the school to reduce traffic and the risk of accidents ( as we did a few years ago).

Breakfast Club will be open.

Please make your own decision as to whether it is safe to leave your own street and inform us.

If there is any change over night, I shall text and blog before 7am.

Thank you for your support.

SCHOOL CLOSED 18th January 2013

School will be closed today due to the snow already on the ground and the forecast of more heavy snow all day and the continuing " Red Warning" for South Wales.

I hope all of the children enjoy the snow and we will hopefully be open on Monday.

Assume school is open next week unless you receive a text or blog saying otherwise. I will write on the blog again on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for your support,

Mr. Roberts

Probable School Closure (Friday 18th January)

Dear Parents,

Due to the rare "Red Warning" issued this evening for RCT and the forecast for tomorrow, it is highly likely that school will be closed tomorrow. However, I will make a final decision by 7.00am in the morning based on the amount of snow on the ground and the likelihood of further snow during the day. I would advise that you make arrangements this evening in case we close. My final decision will be entirely based on the health and safety of pupils and staff.

You will receive a text if the school is closed and the blog will be updated. You can also check the RCT website and the BBC.

Thank you for your support.

Mr. Roberts
