    We are proud to work in collaboration with Cardiff Metropolitan University, a progressive values-driven university with an outstanding reputation for high quality initial teacher education. 

    As a member of the Cardiff Partnership we offer a blend of academic and school-based teacher training.

  • Rags to Riches Collection

    Mon 07 Feb 2022

    We have once again signed up to the Rags To Riches Schools recycling scheme, to raise money and help others around the world benefit from our good quality unwanted clothes and shoes. We get 40p for every kilo we collect of reusable items and would be most grateful if you could help us.

    We have a collection booked on 9th February 2022 so please keep good clothing to donate to us on this date.

    Clean and reusable items that can be donated:

    • Good quality clothes and accessories.
    • Adults, children’s and babies clothing such as jackets, jumpers, hoodies, trousers, skirts, scarves, gloves, belts, handbags, paired shoes and other footwear etc.

    They cannot reuse the following items:

    • Worn out shoes or clothes, clothes that are wet or have holes in.
    • Curtains, pillows or duvets, bric-a-brac or books.
    • Personalised items.
    • Work uniform, branded school uniform or team sports kit

    If it isn’t something you’d wear out and about yourself or pass to a friend, then no-one else will want to buy and wear it so unfortunately, it’s not reusable and can’t go in the bag.

    Donated clothes and accessories are sent to Europe, Africa and even further away to be sold at market stalls as affordable items for those in real need of clothing.

    Thank you in advance for your support.

  • Eisteddfod 2022 - Home Entry Competition

    Mon 07 Feb 2022

    As half term fast approaches, so too does our Eisteddfod for the whole school which will be held on St. David’s day, March 1st. 

    An Eisteddfod is a celebration of Welsh language and culture and on the day we will ask all the children to dress up in something red or green, or something ‘Welsh’ e.g. a Welsh football or rugby kit or a traditional Welsh costume. On the day we will sing Welsh songs and present certificates for competitions completed in school before the holidays. We would also like to ask that children from Reception to Year 6 complete a Home Entry, to be brought into school no later than Monday 28th February. To tie in with our topic ‘Trash to Treasure’ we ask that the children make a 3D junk model of a Dragon. It can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish, but we ask that it be made as independently as possible. We ask that the Dragon be no bigger than 30cms. 

    Pob lwc (good luck) and we look forward to seeing your child’s dragon.
