Dropping Off & Picking Up

Please do not stop in the middle of the road to drop your child off in the mornings or pick them up at the end of the day. Please do not pull on to the pavement or stop on the corners or zig zag lines. Please find a safe space to park, and walk with your child to school. (If they are in Oxwich they can walk by themselves). We are aware that parking is an issue for parents and staff, but we need to ensure the safety of all road users and pedestrians. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Green Scene News

Green Scene are starting back their gardening volunteer sessions at Brynmill Primary School.

They will take place every 3rd Saturday 10am-12:30pm at the school grounds. An upcoming session is taking place Saturday March 16th 10-12:30pm.

These sessions are a great opportunity to help keep the school grounds looking lovely and meet other children, parents and local people in the community. We will be breaking for refreshments at 11ish. Jobs will include sweeping, weeding, planting, watering, painting and sanding.

We’d love to see as many faces (adults & children) there as possible. Equipment will be provided. Please email Jodi on jodibethanmoss@gmail.com if you’d like to attend or join our WhatsApp group to find out when sessions are running.

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 March

You have the right to an identity, including a name and nationality (Article 8)
