Outdoor

We promote using the outdoor environment at every opportunity. During the wetter months, please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for outdoor activities e.g. wellington boots and a waterproof coat. During the warmer months, please ensure that your child has a sunhat and that suncream has been applied before school. If children are scheduled to undertake outdoor learning you will be notified via a text message.

Home Learning

At the start of every term a ‘Home Learning Menu’ will be laminated and place inside your child’s home learning folder. This menu contains sixteen different activities that children should complete over the term. ‘Starters’ – are easier activities that pupils can complete with a little support from home. ‘Mains’ – are harder activities that pupils will require support from home. ‘Desserts’ – are fun activities that children can repeat throughout the term.

Children are to record their home learning activities in their home learning book. When children complete a home learning activity in their home learning book it will need to be returned to school on Wednesday.

PE Days

Please ensure your child comes into school on P.E. day wearing their PE kit:

PE Kit Indoor: Navy Shorts / White Round-Neck T-shirt.

Please note earrings are not to be worn during PE and must be removed.

Healthy Living

We aim to promote healthy living throughout the school. 

Children are encouraged to bring fruit / vegetables to school for their morning break. 

Please also encourage your child to bring a named water bottle to school every day  so they can have access to water readily.

Please note as a healthy school we are not allowed to give out birthday cake / sweets.

Curriculum

As part of the new curriculum for Wales we have designed and developed our own bespoke curriculum. Our curriculum has taken into consideration the following four core purposes:

Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives.
Enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work.
Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world.
Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

Learning will take place inside and outside the classroom with pupil voice at the centre of learning.
