Swansea Fringe – some pupils and ex pupils from the school are performing at Swansea Fringe tonight from 5.00-6.30 at the Perch on Wind Street and would love some support if you are available.
Parking – There have been some complaints from residents about parents parking in residents spaces. We know that parking around the school is a problem but would be grateful if you do not park in residents parking.
Flu Vaccine – Letters and forms have been sent home, please complete the form and return stating whether you do or do not give your consent. The School Nurses will be with us on Friday 25th October to give the vaccine to those who have had consent.
Absence from school – Please remember to contact the School Attendance Officer Miss Rees if your child is absent from school. You can either leave a message on our phone 01792 463019, email brynmill.primary@swansea-edunet.gov.uk or text 01792 720076. Please do not send a message via Class Dojo, as messages may not been seen until after school has finished. Thank you
Children late for school – We have a number of parents/pupils who are frequently late and arrive after school started. This causes disruption to the office staff, the class teacher, the class, and any assemblies/concerts or school trips, and can be a cause of anxiety for the child. School starts at 8.50am, and children should either be attending the Breakfast Club, or in the yard by 8.40am ready for the start of school. Please remember that Foundation Phase Children (Nursery to Y2) should be accompanied by a parent whilst they are in the yard before school starts. If your child arrives after the register has closed they will be classified as having unauthorised absence. If their attendance drops to under 90% you may be liable to a penalty notice.
