Yr 6 Leavers Party
This event will be held Wednesday 17th July, straight after school at 3:20pm. It will be held in The Hide in Brynmill Park. Refreshments will be provided for the children. If anyone would like to help out with games in the park, or walking children down, please contact the office and your email will be forwarded to the organisers. Parents are very welcome to attend as well as year 6 pupils.
Cars around the school
If you are in your car, waiting to drop your child off or pick them up from school, please turn your engine off.
- An idling vehicle emits more pollution than a vehicle travelling at 30mph
- Idling your engine for just 10 minutes releases a pound of CO2 into the air
- Turning your engine off and on again causes less pollution than keeping the engine running.
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.

PTA News
A huge thank you to those who attended our Summer Fete! We had a brilliant time and raised over £1,100 for our school. Thank you so much to those who volunteered to set up, managed a stall, helped pack up and to those who donated bakes. These events are only possible with the help of amazing volunteers and we are so pleased we were able to execute it and have such lovely feedback from parents and teachers.
Last night we hosted another Guys Board Game Night which was also a huge success and we were delighted to see some new faces again.
We’ll be hosting another Ladies Board Game Night in the new school year so please stay tuned for more details.

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 July
You have the right to be the best you can be (Article 29)
