We appreciate that the next academic year seems a very long way ahead, but if your child has their 3rd birthday before 31st August 2026, they will be entitled to 5 morning or afternoon sessions a week in our nursery provision. Similarly, if your child is 4 before 31st August 2026, they will be entitled to full time provision.

We were awarded ‘Outstanding Conservation School’ by The National Conservation Education awards at a glittering ceremony at Chester Zoo in Summer 2024 and are absolutely thrilled with such an incredible accolade.

Our children in the upper junior classes have received training from Active Wrexham in a range of games suitable for playtime at school. They support the play of younger children by teaching them the traditional playground games, some with a slightly more modern twist, and help them to develop their own games and activities too.

Our Tesco Award of £1375 from the ‘Stronger Starts Grant’ has enabled us to provide equipment such as skipping ropes, balls and hula hoops. Large playground clock faces, sensory equipment, hopscotch and marble game markings permanently painted on the playground will also be purchased with this grant funding. This project will help make our playtimes really happy times as part of our well-being approach.

Our very active PTA this year raised £3221.00 from 6 events which will fund ICT equipment, a PA system and subscription to a range of online learning support for each child in school….

….and the awards keep on coming!

Our Llyn Brenig class teacher and ALNCo, Mrs Kay Lawrenson, was a finalist in The Leader Education Awards 2025 Teacher of the Year category, while one of our wonderful teaching assistants, Mrs Kate Davies, was crowned The Leader Education Awards 2025 Teaching Assistant of the Year!

We’re celebrating World Kindness Day today with a special assembly, time to think of others and ideas to ‘pay it forward’ - how can we extend kindness to others and be kind to ourselves too? We are learning that we are unique and there is no one else quite like us! This draws in the work we have been doing that celebrates our differences, the strengths our characters have and for Children in Need tomorrow too.“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer,” Mahatma Gandhi #WorldKindnessDay ...
