Ysgol Tir Morfa - Newsletter Friday 7th November 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable autumn half-term break. It has been lovely to see our pupils return refreshed and ready for the exciting weeks ahead. This half term promises to be a busy and exciting one, filled with new learning opportunities, festive events, and plenty of achievements to celebrate together. Some of pupils from our Explorational Pathway had a wonderful time at the Jamboree on Wednesday and Blythe from Therapy Dogs Nationwide visited our pupils at Grange Road on Tuesday. As always, thank you for your continued support in making our school such a happy and vibrant community.

Kind regards,

Susan H. Roberts

Headteacher
