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!

🌟 Park in the Past, Hope – Our Roman Adventure Day! 🌟What a truly fantastic day we had during our visit to Park in the Past in Hope! From the moment we arrived, there was a real sense of excitement in the air. The weather was wonderfully kind to us, allowing us to spend the entire day outdoors, fully immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds and experiences of Roman life.Throughout the day, the children embraced every opportunity to step back in time. They explored many different aspects of Roman daily life, taking part in a range of hands-on activities that brought history to life in a meaningful and memorable way. From practical tasks to interactive demonstrations, the experience allowed the children to deepen their understanding of how people lived during the Roman era.It was particularly lovely to see how inquisitive the children were. They asked thoughtful questions, listened carefully to the experts leading the sessions, and showed genuine curiosity about the world of the Romans. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn were evident throughout the day, and it was clear they were making valuable connections with their classroom learning.We were also incredibly proud of how brilliantly the children behaved. They demonstrated excellent manners, respect and responsibility at all times, representing our school wonderfully. It was a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved, a day full of learning, laughter and lasting memories. We are certain the children will be talking about their Roman adventure for a long time to come! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

A beautiful message from our friends at COS - Centre of Sign, Sight, Sound who have helped us with their Abi Project. Since 2014 BSL has been formally recognised as a language in Wales. COS has been commissioned by the Welsh Government to look at how British Sign Language could be introduced into schools as part of the new Curriculum Wales as an international language and we have loved their lessons. Hello everyone! We loved your thank you cards so much that our manager (and author of the Catrin & Abi books), John, created a special poster to send to you - hope you like it! 🙂 We really appreciated all the lovely comments by the children and staff. Good luck with your BSL in the future! We will be here if you need anything from us. Diolch!Angela and Debbie ... See MoreSee Less
