• Year 6 Transition Day at ACS

  Wed 22 Jun 2022

  Hello, we have been informed that as parents of Year 6 pupils you have all received an email from ACS regarding the transition day next week - Thursday 30th June.

   

  The children do not need to come into Blaengwawr before going to their transition day. They will all have their attendance mark for that day automatically if they go to ACS. Primary school staff do not attend the transition day with the children as ACS staff run all the activities.

   

  As parents you need to get the children there for 9.30am and collect them at 2.30pm. They will be doing some taster lessons and one of these will include PE so it is recommended that they wear shorts, a t-shirt and trainers. All the children from schools in Aberdare who are attending have been assigned a colour group so ACS have requested that if possible, could your child please wear an item of clothing in that colour. All the children were told their colour group yesterday and we will send a text through to parents to share the information as well.

   

  The children will need to bring a packed lunch (if your child is entitled to a free school meal this will be provided by ACS). If you have any additional queries please do give ACS a call on 01685 888500.
