A great week to begin our final half-term of the year with Waunarlwydd School full of learning and laughter! The weather has been changeable but the children and staff have certainly filled the school with 'positivity', which is our focus val

Well, we couldn't have asked for better weather in our first week of the Summer Term. It has been a pleasure making use of our wonderful grounds and hearing so much learning and laughter going on both indoors and outside! Our Summer Term topic &#

Another wonderful week at Waunarlwydd! Pride of place this week has to go to our incredible school choir! Their performance at a packed Brangwyn Hall, as part of the NGP music festival, was nothing short of amazing! The confidence, enthusiasm and tal

We've come to the end of half-term and it's been a busy and successful start to 2025. As we head into the break it gives me another opportunity to thank staff for their undoubted commitment to the children, parents for their ongoing support a

Last week, we had the pleasure of watching Mrs Horseman and Mrs Wallace's class assembly where the children took us back in time to teach us all about what life was like living in a castle. This week it was the turn of Mrs Evans and Mrs Thomas

Another fantastic week at Waunarlwydd Primary School. It's been a super start to 2025! It was great to see so many Nursery parents in school on Thursday to catch up over a coffee and spend the morning in class with their amazing children. We hope everyone enjoyed! Our awesome Eco team welcomed the charity 'Learning through Landscapes' this week and they are now experts on using our new climate change measuring kit. Our Year 6 footballers represented the school at a tournament today and, as always, did themselves proud with their effort and sportsmanship. As always, the school was filled with Waunarlwydd's brand of 'Learning and Laughter.'

A huge thanks to those parents that completed the parent questionnaires before Christmas. Our highest turnout yet! We have collated the results and will be using them to support our plans for school improvement. Your voice really does matter! Whilst it is always amazing to pass on positive comments to staff and identify strengths we can build on, it is of equal importance that we listen to your thoughts and ideas for improvement. We will be putting together a 'you said, we did' overview throughout the term! Diolch pawb!

Parent Workshops

Following parental feedback, we have begun to tailor our parental workshops. We appreciate that this is short notice, but we will be holding the following 2 workshops in the coming weeks. If there is a demand to repeat them, we will. You will also find below details of 3 free, government-funded Neurodiversity workshops which may be of interest.

 

We can now confirm that our final INSET DAYS of the school year will take place on:

Monday June 2nd

Friday July 4th 

Monday July 21st

Our amazing PTA continues to go from strength to strength. Using PTA funds, we are currently awaiting a significant delivery of outdoor equipment for all classes to enhance their learning and play outdoors. Exciting events are being planned for 2025, including the first 'PTA give back' event. The 'Mad Hatters' tea party' will take place alongside World Book Day on Thursday 6th March. Also, a reminder that the 'PTA UV Disco' will take place on Thursday 20th February! 

Our PTA are always looking for new members. This doesn't need to involve any great time commitment, just a willingness to support as and when you can. If you would like to know how you can help, contact the school, Lara Sturgess or Claire Burnes. 

Diolch Pawb!

Expression of Interest - After School Club (Childcare)

Following parental feedback, we are looking into the possibility of restarting after-school childcare provision. This would be provided by local nursery staff but held on school premises. The feasibility of this provision will rely on sufficient numbers to make it financially viable for the nursery. The estimated cost would be £9 per day per child (15.20 to 17.15). This would include a drink and a snack. Please complete the form if you wish to express an interest:
