  • Diolch pawb! Have a great Summer!

    Published 15/07/25

    Wow! What a year at Waunarlwydd Primary School! We hope you'll all agree that it has been an excellent year! This is the time when we get to say thankyou to all the members of 'OUR' school community!

    Top of the pile, as always, are our awesome pupils! You keep dazzling us each day. The way that you have represented our school values this year has made us all extremely proud! We hope each one of you is very proud of yourselves. Have an amazing summer. We can't wait to see you all in your new classes in September ready to learn and laugh together! 

    To our departing Year 6 pupils. Thanks for making us so proud over your time at Waunarlwydd! Make sure that you enjoy your summer and then head to Gowerton with big smiles on your faces. We have no doubt that you will be huge successes! Dream big and go for it! Don't forget to come and see us to let us know how you are getting on!

    A very special thankyou has to go to Mrs Sue Howells! After 37 years at Waunarlwydd Primary School, despite many attempts to keep her, Mrs Howells is heading for a very well-earned retirement! Countless children have had the privilege of Mrs Howells' support. Indeed, I am sure there are many, many adults in the village and further afield that would still remember the positive impact that Mrs Howells had on their time in school. In several different roles over the years, Mrs Howells has always had a unique approach to supporting children, with her kindness and sense of humour a constant. Above all, she has always put the needs of the children first! You will be missed Mrs H, but we have no doubt that you will be a regular visitor! Diolch yn Fawr Iawn!

    To our incredible staff, a huge thanks for all your effort and hard work throughout the year. You continually strive to provide the children with the very best learning experiences and we are very lucky to have such a dedicated team at Waunarlwydd. Enjoy a well-deserved summer break with your families! We also wish Mr Price all the very best as he starts his new role at Crwys Primary following a term's maternity cover. We welcome Miss Maggs onto the team for September.

    To our parents, families and the wider community. Massive thanks for all your support this year! This is 'OUR' school and we genuinely appreciate your support and feedback. We hope that you feel that your voice is valued as we work together to give our children the opportunities they deserve. On that note, a big thanks to those that have already completed the end-of-year feedback. If you can spare 5 minutes to complete the form below it would be much appreciated:

    End of year parental feedback

    To our amazing PTA:

    Finally, to our governing body – Thanks for your ongoing support throughout the year and for providing support and challenge regarding school improvement. 

    Reminder

    Just a reminder that Monday 1st September and Tuesday 2nd September are INSET DAYS. Pupils will return following the summer break on Wednesday 3rd September.

    Remember, this is 'OUR SCHOOL' and, as always, if you have any queries, concerns or ideas, don’t hesitate in making contact!

    Have a wonderful Summer, everyone! 

    Diolch pawb!

    Mr Jamie Evans

  • Important changes to messaging and payments methods!!

    Published 13/02/25

    From MID MARCH we will no longer be using the Teachers to Parents App/text messaging service. All messages from the school will be sent via Seesaw. If you have not signed up for Seesaw, please can you do so as soon as possible.

    Also, from mid-March, Squid will cease trading and the school will be using iPayImpact for collection of payments for trips and Breakfast Club (we will always accept cash). You will receive a registration letter next week, and we ask that you register as soon as you are able.

    Please bear with us as we integrate these new systems and if you have any queries, please let us know.
