Our Heddlu Bach (Little Police) club have been busy supporting our local community with a litter pick last week and a visit to Valley View Care Home today to sing Christmas songs with the residents, we are very proud of them and their contributions to their school and the local community.
Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Online Safety-Channel 4 Documentary – Swiped
This week Channel 4 aired a documentary called Swiped about a school that banned Smartphones. The documentary contained a lot of informative, and frightening, facts about young children using smartphones and how it can affect their mental health. We would strongly encourage you to watch on Channel 4’s On Demand service at the this link. and seriously consider your child’s use of their phone and if they really need it at such a young age.
(Please note – there is some upsetting content in the documentary so it is not advised for the children to watch it)
