    This year to celebrate our ‘Wythnos Cymreig/ Welsh Week’ our focus is  'Croeso.' We are promoting Welsh hospitality, culture, and "hwyl" (fun/joy), encouraging visitors to experience unique Welsh welcomes and destinations. As a school we will be learning about all the beautiful places there are to visit in Wales and our culture, food etc.

Winning entries will receive a certificate during our Eisteddfod Merit Award on Friday February 27th. Pupils will be able to wear their Welsh costumes, Welsh rugby/football tops or the colour red. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BY TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24th to be judged in time.

    During the afternoon of Friday 28th February at 1:30pm parents are welcome (croeso) to come into their child’s class to hear/see what has been learnt that week. Parents are also welcome to attend our Year 6 Crowning of the bard at 2:15 pm.

    We will have a special Family Mass at St Benedict’s Church, Clydach on Sunday 1st March 10 am. All pupils are welcome to come dressed in their Welsh costumes, Welsh rugby/football tops or the colour red. It will be lovely to celebrate our national day together.

  • Great Athlete Rhiannon Henry

    Published 30/01/26

    'Great Athlete' Paralympian Rhiannon Henry led a whole school event today designed to inspire every child to lead a more active, resilient and healthy life. Not only did we have a great time completing fun activity circuits, but we also raised a lot of money for the school to spend on sports equipment. Thank you to everyone for their generosity. I hope your child will tell you all about the fun they had. Rhiannon also completed a Q & A session and our piupils asked some really thoughtful and sensible questions.

  • Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen

    Published 23/01/26

    A huge diolch to Mrs Weaver and the Criw Cymraeg for organising our Santes Dwynwen celebrations. The Patrwm Yr Wythnos this week was 'Pwy wyt ti'n caru?' 'Who do you love?' and we had some lovely answers during assemblies including Jesus, mams and dads, Mr Reed and ffrindiau. Criw Cymraeg organised and judged a lovespoon making competition and the entries were made of wood, cardboard, wool and clay. There was one winner from each class who received a prize although it must have been very hard to choose!

  • Feast of the Epiphany welcomes us back to school.

    Published 08/01/26

    ✨ Welcome Back and Happy New Year! ✨
    As we begin this new year together, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, a reminder of the light that guides us. Just as the Wise Men followed the star to find Jesus, we too are called to seek truth, hope, and love in all we do.

    May this year be filled with joy, learning, and kindness, and may we always shine as a light for others. Let us walk forward with faith and gratitude, trusting that God’s guidance will lead us to wonderful discoveries.

    “Arise, shine, for your light has come!” (Isaiah 60:1)

    Welcome back to a year of growth and blessings! 🌟

  • Christmas Enterprise Fayre

    Published 18/12/25

    We had another very successful Christmas Enterprise Fayre which made a profit of over £750. All classes from Reception upwards designed, voted on and made items to sell. They worked out costs, profits and made adverts to sell their goods. All the pupils really enjoyed leading the event and running the stalls and there was a lovely festive buzz around the place. It greatly helped that it was the ONE day it wasn't raining and everyone could wander around the stalls in the yard as well as in the hall.
