We would like to wish you all a fantastic Christmas break.

We have had a superb 2024 and we are so pleased with all the children; how they have continued to grow academically, socially and in confidence and how they have embraced learning opportunities and new experiences in school. Da iawn, we are so proud of you all!

We would like to offer a very warm welcome back to Miss Hindley as she returns from her maternity leave. Miss Hindley has already been back in school for a couple of weeks touching base with Dosbarth Siabod, catching up with Mr Southall and is raring to go in 2025.

We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to Mr Southall who has been looking after Dosbarth Siabod so ably. Not only did Mr Southall perform his teaching duties so proficiently, but he also helped with the wider school community, including running after-school sports clubs. Thank you for everything Mr Southall and we all wish you all the very best of luck for the future.

Exciting for early 2025...

We are so excited to say that we have secured a very substantial grant from the Thomas Howell's Education Fund, which will enable us to purchase a composite summer house / office style structure that will be placed on the school yard and used as a library.

The new lunchtime library will be run by our Year 6 librarians and as well as being a library, it will offer so many of our children a quieter area during play and lunchtimes.

More details to follow...

Massive thank you to Starkey Farm for the donation of our treemendous Christmas tree.

Very well done to the Year 6s who led our Carol Service so wonderfully well. Thank you to all our families and members of the local community for joining us.
