Head’s Up from Mr Davies

Thank You for Supporting Wear Red Day

We’re really grateful for your support on Show Racism the Red Card – Wear Red Day. It’s a powerful way for our school community to stand together against racism and promote respect and inclusion.

In a recent letter to us from the Director of Education, there are a few points we wanted to share with families:

• Racial incidents are taken seriously and dealt with under safeguarding and equality policies.
• RVE (Religion, Values and Ethics) is a required part of the curriculum for all pupils. It’s about understanding different beliefs, not practicing religion.
• If you ever see misinformation online about our school, please let us know so we can respond appropriately.

Thanks again for helping us make Brynmill a safe, inclusive space for every child.

Flags of Friendship—Celebrating Our Global Community

The Flags of Friendship project invites every family in our school to celebrate their heritage by sponsoring their home country’s flag. These flags will be raised on our school flagpole—either rotated regularly or flown on special national days chosen by families (for example, raising the Welsh flag on St. David’s Day). This simple visual display brings diverse cultures into our daily school life and sends a clear message that every culture is valued. Research confirms that children develop positive self-esteem when their families’ cultures are honoured and respected naeyc.org, so seeing their own flag at school will help every child feel proud and included.

Get Involved! 

We invite families to contribute by either:

• Donating a flag (approx. size: 5ft x 3ft) from your home country, along with a note of your national day.
• Sponsoring a flag via iPay – basic flags cost around £6.00, but any additional donations will help us purchase higher quality flags.

If we receive multiple flags from the same country, we will keep extras to replace worn-out flags over time.

You can also make a general donation to support the ongoing upkeep and replacement of flags – all contributions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you for helping us celebrate the cultures and identities that make our school so special. Please fill in the form to get involved. https://forms.office.com/e/1xvA00xqiP

We look forward to sharing more about this in the future.

Inset Day 3 –Friday October 24

A Note from the Headteacher  

It has been lovely getting to know the children and see them settling in. We have shared an assembly about the importance of Community. I am looking forward to taking forward some of the brilliant suggestions they have given. 

We are grateful as ever to our Friends of Brynmill Primary PTA for giving up their time to host a pre-loved uniform sale. It is lovely to see so many in our school colours. 

From Monday next week, we have a change of gate in the morning to announce for both Caswell N and Oxwich M on De Breos Street. Pupils for these classes will now use the Trafalgar Place entrance at Gate 2 in the morning. They will continue to use the De Breos Street gate to leave at the end of the day. This will help streamline site security and allow pupils to socialise with all their peers in the morning. 

Super Mascots 

If you’ve been at Brynmill for a while, you may have heard your children talking about the Mindset Mascots.  Since their inception, they helped encourage the children to develop certain growth minds sets and gave teachers a cohesive way to talk about them . Over the years, they’ve become a bit tired and the way they were being used had changed.  Last year, staff with the help of the Learning Detectives Pupil Voice group gave our Mascots a makeover to better represent their new roles.  They are no longer called the Mindset Mascots, they are now the Super Mascots!  

 We have Resilient Rocky Raccoon, Collaborative Buzz-Bee, Creative Daisy Dog, Independent Isha Iguana, Cennin Swper, and Reflective Ozzie Owl.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce them to you in the newsletter.  Hopefully, you’ll be hearing more about them from your child as the year goes on as well.  They will also feature on the Star of the Week badges, reflecting which Super Mascot was exemplified during the week. 

Bay Team Meetings 

These are opportunities for parents / carers to come in and informally meet with their child’s class teachers, and other parents, to learn a bit about the curriculum and routines in their Bay Groups.  

Gates will open at 3.30pm, ready for a 3.45pm start. 

• Monday 22nd September – Bracelet (Mrs Lewis, Mrs Breeze, Mrs Roach) 

• Tuesday 23rd September – Oxwich (Mrs Evans, Mrs Hogan, Miss Martin) 

• Wednesday 24th September – Pobbles (Mrs Nicholas, Mrs Coghlin, Mrs Stewart) 

• Thursday 25th September – Caswell (Mrs Howard, Miss Maliphant, Mr Newey) 

Caswell Class Trip  

The Caswell Trip to the National Roman Legion Museum in Caerleon is coming on September 24th. The cost is £25 per child. We appreciate that this is a lot of money, but we know that the experience will bring learning to life! Contributions can be paid in full or instalments via iPay. If you haven’t already done so, please fill in the consent/lunch form as soon as possible.  https://forms.office.com/e/KZpvwFnBqE

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a lovely summer with plenty of time to rest, relax and enjoy family adventures. It’s wonderful to see the school full of energy again, and I’d like to give a heartfelt welcome back to our families, both familiar faces and those who are joining us for the very first time. We’re so pleased to have you with us.

Vision and Community

I’m really excited about the year ahead as we take our next steps together. My vision is very much about growing our sense of community – a place where children feel they belong, where families feel part of the journey, and where we can achieve even more by working together. Volunteers play such an important part in this, and we’ll be seeking to open up more opportunities this year for parents, carers and friends of the school to get involved.

Uniform

You’ll also hear us talking a little about uniform over the coming weeks. While we don’t insist on it, we do encourage children to wear it, as it helps to create a sense of belonging and pride in our school. We’ll be exploring ways to make this easier for everyone, including the possibility of a swap shop to recycle and share items. For families who’d like to buy new, J & S Products in Tycoch continues to be a good place to source.

Communication

This term we’ll also be starting some gentle awareness-raising around Schools of Sanctuary – more details and updates are on our website here. Linked to this is clear information and communication. We currently use Class Dojo for updates and our website for public-facing information. This year we expect changes to our school data and communication systems that are managed by the local authority. We rely on your child’s education being a partnership between us and parents, and I would emphasise that the website will remain the key area for information at https://brynmill-primary-school1.j2bloggy.com/

A new start

As part of any new leadership, there is an opportunity to look at what is working well and what needs to change. Some of those changes are already in place with our new staff and roles. I look forward to listening to the views of pupils, parents, staff and our wider community to help shape the future direction together.

Thank you for your support so far – it really does make such a difference. I’m looking forward to a year full of learning, laughter, and shared achievements.

Mr Davies

A Word from Miss Simons

Dear Brynmill Community,

As I prepare to retire, I want to take a moment to wish you all a happy and restful summer. It’s hard to put into words just how much I will miss our wonderful children, dedicated staff, committed governors, supportive families, and the wider community that makes Brynmill so special.

I am deeply grateful for all the support, kindness, and encouragement I’ve received over the years. It has been an absolute privilege to serve as the head teacher of a school community that truly lives and breathes our motto:

“Being different, belonging together, being the best you can be.”

I leave secure in the knowledge that the school is in the safe and capable hands of Mr. Davies, and I wish him the very best as he takes on this special role.

I step away with immense pride in all that we’ve achieved together over the years and with full confidence that Brynmill will continue to thrive. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.

With warmest wishes and heartfelt thanks,

Jo Simons

School Is Out for Summer!

It has been an eventful last week of school this past week as we not only said good bye to our Year 6 class but to Ms Simons as well.

• The children enjoyed exploring their new classrooms on Tuesday during transition morning and were excited to share their workbooks with their parents in the afternoon.
• On Wednesday, the Leavers had their traditional Golden Table Lunch which judging by the excited chatter coming from the dining hall, they all relished. 
• Thursday we had the Year 6’s grace the stage on last time for their Leavers Assembly.  They did a wonderful job recounting their years at Brynmill and sang some great songs which brought many a tear to those listening.  In the afternoon, the whole school gathered in the front yard to enjoy the Joe’s Ice Cream Treat from the Friends of Brynmill as well as a bit of dance party.
• Friday there was an all school assembly to celebrate Ms Simon’s time at Brynmill. There was singing, speeches, presents, and a lovely video tribute from all the students and staff.

Goodbye Ms Simons

Mrs Simons embarks today on her well-deserved retirement after an incredible 18 years of dedicated service to our school community.  Her commitment, passion, and leadership have left an indelible mark on students, staff, and parents alike. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and the remarkable impact you’ve made.  We wish you a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures.

PTA News

We’ve had another fantastic year together, planning and hosting events for the enjoyment of the school community. The hard work in planning our events is far outweighed by the joy we see on children’s faces during them. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has come along and supported our events. Of course, these events couldn’t happen without the invaluable support of the school staff. And to our incredible parent and grandparent volunteers, thank you so much! Your help and support mean the world to the committee and make it possible for us to hold our events. We can’t wait for a new school year, filled with new opportunities to have fun together and raise funds for the school.

Labelling Belongings

As new uniforms, water bottles, lunches, etc are bought over the summer, please remember to label them before the new school year starts.  We’ve accumulated approximately 13 kilos worth of lost and found over the course of this last term.  Everything with labels has been returned to students. 

The school has accounts with 2 two sticker label companies where we are able to earn a commission for every order placed as long as our school ID is used.
