Dear Parents and Carers,
It’s been another lovely, sunny week in school and our pupils have made the most of it with a fantastic range of activities. Dosbarth Tryfan have been busy completing their first aid training and showed great enthusiasm as they learned these important life skills. Dosbarth Findeg enjoyed another visit from Caitlyn from the Wildlife Trust, exploring our environment and discovering more about the nature around us. Meanwhile, Dosbarth Aled have been out and about at St. Asaph Police Headquarters, learning about ‘People Who Help Us’ and the important work they do in our community. Wishing you all a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday.
Kind regards,
Susan H. Roberts
Headteacher

Attendance Information for Parents and Carers
As part of our continued focus on attendance this year, we have decided to share attendance data regularly with parents and carers through our newsletter. Attendance remains one of our school priorities, and we believe that sharing this information helps keep everyone informed and working together to support our pupils. In Wales, the Welsh Government defines good attendance as 95% or above. Attendance of 90% or below is classed as persistent absence. These benchmarks are used nationally across schools in Wales. We would like to reassure families that we fully recognise that many pupils at YTM have significant health or medical needs which may make it difficult, or sometimes impossible, to meet these targets. As a school, we understand this and want to be very clear that no parent or carer should feel pressured or judged where absences are due to genuine health-related reasons. Our intention in sharing attendance data is simply to ensure transparency and awareness of our overall school attendance and the expectations placed upon us as a school. We value our strong partnership with families and appreciate your continued support in helping pupils attend whenever they are able to do so. If you would like to discuss attendance in relation to your child, please do not hesitate to contact the school - we are always happy to work together to provide the best possible support.
