Techniquest – Unfortunately we did not receive enough voluntary contributions to cover the cost of the recent Techniquest Workshop, which jeopardises further trips and visits. If you were intending on contributing, but have forgotten, we would be grateful for your contribution. If you can’t remember whether you have paid or not, we are happy to check. Some people have indicated that they will pay on sQuid, but unfortunately we have not received payment, please check your sQuid account to ensure the payment has gone through. Thank you.

We are going cashless! In line with other schools and following on from the success of going cashless for school dinners, we are rolling this out for trips and offers.  We will implement this from Monday 4th March, which will give parents who are not already using it, plenty of time to register. Please contact the school office if you need any help with registering, or have any other queries. Thank you.

Cake Sale – Our Criw Cymraeg are organising a cake sale on Monday 28th Jan to raise money for Welsh resources. We would be grateful for donations of cakes on the day, and please could children bring a small amount of money to enable them to buy cakes. (Suggested donation 50p – £1.00) Diolch!

A message from Friends of Brynmill Primary  about ways to raise free cash for the school.

Wow! I just wanted to say a massive thank you again to everyone who is supporting easyfundraising or has linked the PTA as their Co-op community cause!

Donations are still being added to easyfundraising every day as the less efficient Christmas retailers start adding in their pennies. While I completely appreciate that nobody has much money in January, please remember to keep completing any online purchases you do make through the app. Interestingly, you also receive donations for paying your utilities online, or booking holidays through Expedia etc, so please always check before hitting the Buy Now button! We’re now up to £112.35 in donations- a fantastic effort and will help to buy some much needed IT resources for the school.
