• Attendance % Letters for all pupils - Red, Amber or Green

  Mon 24 Apr 2023

  Hello #teamblaengwawr, as you know in our school we aim to ensure that all children attend school regularly and on time to ensure that they are able to make the most of their educational experiences. 

   

  Research has shown that children with good school attendance build up stronger friendship groups and are happy learners and this is why attendance in school every day is a key school priority.

  Research has also shown the negative impact of lateness and absence on pupil's educational achievement and future opportunities and as a school we don't want to limit our pupils later life opportunities.

   

  Both whole school, class and individual pupil attendance is regularly monitored by our leadership team. As we mentioned in one of our spring term newsletters we will be reviewing each pupil's termly attendance and sending an individual letter out to parents to show if they are in the green, amber or red % band. If you have any questions after receiving your letter please email your queries to head@blaengwawrprimary.rctcbc.cymru

   

  For more in-depth information on our school policy and views on attendance please visit our school website via the following link: https://www.blaengwawrprimary.co.uk/attendance-1/

• Easter Celebrations - 31st March 2023

  Wed 29 Mar 2023

  Hello #teamblaengwawr we hope you are enjoying preparing your Easter bonnets and decorating those eggs ready for Friday 31st March. 
  We hope that the weather is on our side but at the moment the forecast isn't looking good.

  If the weather is fine we are inviting parents into the main yard from Gwawr Street (blue gate) for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 at 2.00pm to hear some Easter songs and see the eggs and bonnets. Then we are inviting parents in for Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 at 2.30pm for the same.

  However, if the weather is bad unfortunately we can not host all parents in the hall so we will make some recordings of the bonnets, eggs, songs and poems and share these with you via class dojo and the website.
