Welshpool High School Concert
We have been invited to sing at the high school concert on Tuesday 9th July in the evening. We will be performing one of the songs from our Whispering Woods performance. This is open to all pupils. If your child would like to take part, please see Mrs Haine.
Welshpool D-Day Service
A service was held in Welshpool to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings in the Second World War. Three Year 6 pupils attended alongside Town councillors, other schools and Royal British Legion representatives.
Commemorative posters designed by Year 6 pupils will be on display in Welshpool Town hall on Saturday morning.
Hats and Sunscreen
Please ensure your child has a hat in school, clearly marked with their name. If possible, please apply any sunscreen before school. If your child brings sunscreen to school, they will need to apply it themselves (younger children will be supervised).
Residential Trip May 2025
Planning ahead - we have booked our residential trip for pupils in years 5&6 next year! The school must make a deposit to secure our booking by 10th June. If your child wishes to go to Condover next May, please make a non-returnable deposit of £35 (via Parent Pay) to secure their place. If you need any further information, please speak to Mrs Fowler.
