As we prepare to begin our holiday, I would like to thank parents, pupils and staff for the way they have worked together during this term
We should take pride in all we have achieved as a school community.
Your children have adapted brilliantly to all of the changes that we have made here to ensure that the school environment is as Covid-secure as possible and have worked productively with their teachers over the past term, making very pleasing progress indeed.
We have been extremely fortunate in being able to keep school open until the final week of term.
Our new pupils have settled in well and quickly became part of our community.
School staff have faced new and difficult challenges and have continued to provide a stable, safe and caring community for our learners.
Although we haven’t been able to welcome you into the school building as we do under normal circumstances you have continued to support the school in many ways. We hope, at some point in 2021 we will be able to resume all the community events that are normally an integral part of our school life.
Our fund-raising raffle raised an amazing £593.50 – thank you for your donations of chocolate and money and supporting us by buying tickets. This money will be used to provide additional resources for all pupils in the school.
Please read the attached PCC document which explains arrangements for January. If you are eligible to use the key worker provision mentioned in the document, please use this booking form shared on Class Dojo
If these arrangements change in any way, we will let you know via ClassDojo.
If your child, or any member of your household has Covid-19 symptoms during the holiday period please continue to request a test by phoning 119 or using the online portal https://gov.wales/apply-coronavirus-covid-19-test.
If your child has a positive Covid test result over the holiday period please email your child’s name, year group and school to education.coronavirus@pembrokehsire.gov.uk Please note that the self-isolation period is now 10 days.
On behalf of the staff I would like to wish all families a restful and relaxing break.

Dear parents and carers,
Following the announcement by the Education Minister Kirsty Williams regarding the reopening of schools. I wanted to share our position with you. The last few months have been challenging of everyone, children and young people, parents and carers and school staff. I welcome the plans from Welsh Government, which will allow us to plan for the safe re-opening of schools in September.
At the start of next term, schools will:
Schools will communicate directly with parents and carers about their arrangements. During this week, Welsh Government will issue guidance and this guidance will change as the situation evolves. Every school will have its own challenges to deal with. The will include things like staffing, catering, cleaning, transport etc. These will be worked through in detail over the next few weeks. There will be no childcare provision for the children of key workers in September.
We will:
I would like to thank you for your support and working with our schools and us during this difficult time. I am confident that by continuing to work together we can make the return to our schools successful.
Yours sincerely
Steven Richards-Downes
