Universal Free School Meals – Update from Swansea Council

Further to previous correspondence, we are pleased to announce we will be rolling out free school meals to all year 5 pupils from 3 June 2024 (after half term). Please note this will be automatic and there will be no requirement to apply for the meals. We aim to complete the roll out to year 6 as soon as possible and will update you on our progress in due course.

For those pupils who have credit in their school meals account and are now eligible for Universal Free School Meals, refunds will be issued onto the card that the original payment came from.

Enterprise Fair

Pupils have been working hard on their products for the enterprise fair, and would love to see you all there. Prices range from approx. 50p to £3.50 so please bring some change.

Rights Respecting School

As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.

Right of the Month for May

You have the right to meet with friends and join groups (Article 15)
