Llansannor & Llanharry C/W Primary School

Dear all at home,

What a whirlwind this short half term has been! We've packed so much into these four weeks, and I'm excited to share some of the highlights with you all.

First off, I have to mention our Enthralling Earth Exhibition at Cowbridge Town Hall. What an incredible showcase of our pupils' learning! The displays were absolutely amazing, and it was wonderful to see so many of you there, taking in all the hard work and creativity our young learners have put into their projects. A massive thank you to all the staff who worked tirelessly to make this event happen. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Miss Fisher and Mrs Goldsworthy for their fantastic vision that brought it all together. Your dedication and enthusiasm really shone through in the final result.

Another standout moment was the BBC Now orchestra concert. I couldn't have been prouder watching our pupils show off their incredible musical skills. The level of talent and confidence on display was truly impressive. It's moments like these that remind us of the importance of arts education and the joy it brings to our school community.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended both of these events. Your support means the world to us and to the children. It's so important for our pupils to see their hard work recognised and celebrated by their families and the wider community.

These events are just a snapshot of the vibrant learning environment we're cultivating here at Llansannor & Llanharry CiW Primary School. Every day, I see our pupils growing, learning, and pushing themselves to new heights. It's a privilege to be part of their journey.

As we wrap up this action-packed half term, I'm already looking forward to what the next one will bring. There's always something exciting happening in our school, and I can't wait to share more with you soon.

Thanks again for your continued support. It's what makes our school community so special.

Love and Prayers,

Mrs Davies

What a fantastic day we had celebrating VE Day at Llansannor & Llanharry CiW Primary School! I wanted to share some of the highlights with you all.

We kicked things off with a special assembly led by Rev Angela. She did a wonderful job helping our pupils understand the significance of VE Day and why we remember it.

We all headed out to the field for a glorious picnic. The weather couldn't have been better - sunshine and blue skies all around. These are the moments that really bring our school community together.

Everyone looked amazing in their outfits. It really added to the festive atmosphere and made the day feel extra special.

Days like this are what make our school so special. It's not just about learning in the classroom (though that's important too!), but also about coming together as a community to celebrate and remember important events.

I need to bring up the ongoing parking issue again. I know it can be tricky, especially during drop-off and pick-up times, but we really need to be mindful of how we're parking. Please, let's all make an effort to park courteously and not block our neighbours' driveways. They're part of our community too, and we want to keep those relationships friendly.

On a related note, I've got a small request for those of you who are eligible to use the school bus. If you're able to use it, please do. It's there for a reason, and every car we can keep off the roads around the school helps with the parking situation. Plus, it's a great way for the children to start their day chatting with friends. I know these might seem like small things, but they make a big difference to how smoothly our school runs and how we fit into the wider community.

Every little bit helps, and I really appreciate your support in making our school a great place for everyone.

I'm writing to share some important information about admissions for the upcoming 2025 academic year.

I'm pleased to let you know that we have places available in our Reception class for September 2025.

If you or anyone in your community is looking for a primary school placement for their child, I would encourage you to consider Llansannor. We pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and enriching educational environment for all our pupils. In addition to the Reception places, we also have limited spaces available in our Nursery for 2025.

If you have a younger child who will be eligible for Nursery next year, I would recommend applying as soon as possible, as these spots tend to fill up quickly.

Please feel free to share this information with your friends, family, and neighbours who may be interested in securing a place at our school.

We're always happy to welcome new pupils and families into our Llansannor community.

If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Please note that the new menu is now available on our school website at

https://www.llansannorprimary.co.uk/lunch-menus/.

I encourage you to take a look and familiarise yourself with the delicious options we have in store for your children.

As a reminder, you can order your child's lunches on ParentPay up to 14 days in advance. This helps us ensure we have the necessary supplies to cater for everyone.

Unfortunately, due to order constraints, we will be asking parents to provide packed lunches on the days when orders have been missed.

I appreciate your continued support and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

This year 2 pupil, and her friends, have today held a cake sale to raise money for Llansannor & another local school.

They have raised a fantastic £259.65 to share between both schools.

Diolch yn fawr!

Key messages from staff:

Thank you for your continued support in sending healthy snacks with your children. It makes a big difference to their energy and concentration.

Our lost property 'pile' is growing! Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name. This helps us return lost items to their rightful owners.

If anyone has any sports kit belonging to the school please can you return it as soon as possible. Thanks!

Many thanks,

Tim Llansannor
