• 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.

  This action has been taken in the interest of public safety. Your child will be provided with remote learning opportunities during this emergency closure day.  A public update

• Welsh Government Advice on 5 day isolation rules

  Wed 09 Feb 2022
  

• Back to school arrangements

  Fri 18 Dec 2020

  Important information regarding the start of term in January 2021 – The school has been directed by RCT Council that Monday 4^th & Tuesday 5^th January will be planning and preparation days to ensure the safe return of pupils in the new year. This is in line with all other primary schools across the LA and has come from Welsh Government as part of the Tier 4 restrictions due to the rise in Covid-19 cases across South Wales.

   

  There will be no school for pupils on 4^th or 5^th January but we plan to open for all children as usual on Wednesday 6^th January with the same rules we have been using since the start of the autumn term.

   

  We know that things are changing on a regular basis so we can’t predict if the situation may need to change in January so we will update all families on 4^th January 2021.

   

  Wishing all our families a Happy and safe Christmas. Look forward to seeing you again in 2021.
