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.

Croeso/ Welcome – Welcome back to our existing pupils, and welcome to our new pupils, we hope we all have a great year at Brynmill Primary School.

Inspection – We are delighted to provide a link to our latest Estyn report following our school inspection last term. Many of those who’ve already read the report have told us that it is a pleasure to read and I must say that I agree.

Staff, governors, parents, carers and of course the children have always worked well together making our school a very special, caring community and we are always pleased when this is recognised by others. Staff took the opportunity to reflect upon the inspection report during one of the recent INSET day activities. I also asked the staff to identify a few highlights from the report which proved to be a difficult task as there were so many positives to celebrate. We are particularly proud that ESTYN recognised the excellent behaviour of our pupils with “Nearly all pupils display high levels of respect and tolerance to one another, staff and visitors.” We are also delighted that ESTYN noted that “teachers plan engaging topics with pupils that capture their imagination and making learning exciting” and that our pupils are supported by a “team of skilful learning support assistants provide highly effective pastoral and learning support.” ESTYN also recognised the “robust leadership” provided by schools leaders and governors, noting that our leadership “processes and opening dialogue ensures that all staff, governors, parents and pupils take full part in evaluating how well the school is performing.”

As a school that resolutely avoids complacency and both seeks and embraces challenge in our quest to be the best we can be within the scope of our resources, it is nice to take this opportunity to celebrate and heartily congratulate everyone for their contribution to making Brynmill Primary such a successful school.

Goodbye and good luck

Mr Mizen has informed us that he is planning to move onto new pastures so we will reluctantly be saying goodbye. He has been offered an opportunity to undertake a pastoral role at Lifepoint Church, which after much consideration, he has decided to accept.

I’d like to thank Mr Mizen for the hardwork and commitment he has shown during his time here in Brynmill. I know that he will not only be missed by  the staff but also by the many children he has taught, helped (as a first aider), or who participated in the extracurricular clubs he ran including Code club and Football club.

We sincerely wish him the best of luck for the future and hope that he will come back to visit his ‘Brynmill Primary Family’ from time to time.

We are please that Mrs Timaeus will remain with us next term until a permanent member of staff is appointed to replace Mr Mizen.
