Good Evening Parents,

Staff are/have been preparing home learning tasks for children who are currently not attending school and for the school closure. 

Teachers have used Class DOJO to advise pupils of the following:

• Pupils' personal login for HWB
• Class login for Google Classroom (KS2 only)
• Pupils' personal login for Active learn (Reading and Maths activities)

KS2 classes are already accessing Google Classroom and the feedback is very positive! Children not in school are working really hard! Thank-you!

Foundation Phase are using Class DOJO.

If you are experiencing any difficulties accessing the home learning tasks please contact the school.

Also, a website called Twinkle is currently providing free home learning resources, navigate to the year group you require and access the Home Learning Pack.

Kind Regards,

Mrs Thomas

Dear Parents/Carers,

In light of the growing concerns, and media coverage, with regard to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the school would like to reassure you that we continue to receive regular updates from Cardiff County Council.

The Council is closely monitoring guidance from the Welsh Government/NHS Wales and we will keep you updated with any further developments, especially those linked to educational settings.

These are some of the messages being discussed in classes and we ask that you continue to do the same with your child/children:

Pupils, students, staff and visitors should wash their hands:

• before leaving home
• on arrival at school
• after using the toilet
• after breaks and sporting activities
• before food preparation
• before eating any food, including snacks
• before leaving school

In order to reassure everyone further:

• There are tissue boxes for each classroom
• Soaps available in all toilets
• Additional soap and hand drying materials have been placed in all classrooms
• NHS Coronavirus education posters are displayed in all areas of the school
• Notices to parents on any updates

A reminder that further information can be found on the following websites:

or calling NHS 111

Sincere thanks again for your understanding

I am receiving regular bulletins and updates from the Welsh Government and the Health and Safety Department of the County Council in relation to the Coronavirus. You will be aware from the media coverage that the situation, is changing day by day and if there are any significant developments that affect schools, be assured we will let you know immediately.  

The following link will take you to the latest information from Public Health Wales, which is updated daily at 3pm: https://phw.nhs.wales/news/public-health-wales-statement-on-novel-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china/

The guidance from the Health and Safety Department of the County Council in relation to hand gel is as follows:

Hand gel is not needed – correct handwashing is much more effective, however it can be used in addition to handwashing if school want to; Alcohol based hand gel is the most effective – it can be used in schools,  however the use must be supervised. So a staff member would need to dispense it to each child, and make sure they rub it in to their hands. ( so that the  gel is not misused;  ingested, inhaled etc) 

In view of this we will be attempting to purchase hand gel for each class which the teachers will dispense. However I think supplies are low everywhere at the moment.

We are encouraging and reminding all children to wash hands regularly using soap and water and to use tissues to catch coughs and sneezes. We have posters around school to remind children also.
