• Last Day of Term

  Thu 21 Jul 2022

  Morning all,
  
  It’s our last day today so please remember that school finishes at 1.30 for the children.
  
  I hope you all have a great summer and thank you for your support of the school over the last year.
  
  We wish a fond farewell to our Y6 today as they move on to new challenges. We will miss them so much!
  
  We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on September 5th.
  
  Staff will be available on dojo until tomorrow and then after that any other messages can be sent on Friday September 2nd.
  
  Thank you so much,
  
  Mrs Robbins

• Hot Weather Update

  Mon 18 Jul 2022

  Afternoon all,
  
  Whilst it has been hot today, we are lucky that our building is relatively cool and staff have done all they can to keep children cool.
  
  I have personally checked all classrooms and they are not excessively hot.
  
  Tomorrow is slightly lower temperature and a little more cloudy therefore I’m hoping all children will be back and I will not be authorising absence tomorrow.
  
  Please send your children in with a drink, hat, sun cream and cool clothing.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Robbins

• Hot Weather

  Sun 17 Jul 2022

  Afternoon all,
  
  I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I just wanted to give you a quick update regarding the unprecedented hot weather due tomorrow.
  
  School will be open as normal until we finish for the summer at 1.30 on Thursday. We are not closing.
  
  However, as there are planned temperatures of up to 35 degrees on Monday I will be authorising absences of children where you are concerned about them being in school during this time. I will only be authorising this on Monday.
  
  This maybe because your child finds the hot weather difficult, or maybe struggles with asthma or hay-fever or that you just have concerns for their well-being.
  
  
  The absence will only be authorised if you let the school know and inform us that due to the hot weather you are concerned about your child being in school. These messages need to be sent to your child’s teacher or Mrs Reardon please, not to me.
  
  We have already written to our most vulnerable children in our complex needs base and our nursery children. Extra care needs to be taken with our youngest children in extreme weather.
  
  Of course, school will still be open and we will continue to provide regular drink breaks, encourage all children to wear hats, sunscreen and loose fitting clothing. We will also try to make the lessons more relaxed and allow the children, particularly over the lunch break, to have access to a cool classroom if they choose, as our yards lack shade.
  
  Children will not be able to use the Astro-turf on Monday or Tuesday.
  
  Many thanks for your support with this. If you have any questions please feel free to message me today and I will answer them later on.
  
  Kindest regards,
  
  Mrs Robbins

• Message From Mrs Robbins

  Fri 15 Jul 2022

  Good afternoon all,
  
  For the first month or so of the new term in Sep I will be looking after another school as well as Cwmcarn.
  
  I wanted to make it clear how much I love being Headteacher at Cwmcarn and so I’m not going anywhere! I feel very lucky to be Head of such a lovely school with amazing staff, learners and parents/carers.
  
  It’s just that another local school has a new Head starting who is not able to start until sometime in October.
  
  Therefore I will be supporting the other school until their new Head arrives. I will be at Cwmcarn for half of the week and the other school for half of the week.
  
  I have a very strong leadership team here at Cwmcarn and on the days I’m at the other school, Mrs Seamons will be in charge. However I will only be 10 minutes away should I be needed.
  
  I hope you will all join us as seeing this as a huge compliment to our school and the opportunity to support another school for a short time.
  
  Kindest regards,
  
  Mrs Robbins

• ** Warm Weather **

  Sun 10 Jul 2022

  Afternoon all,
  
  This scorching weather is due to last all week so please can you make sure your children have lots of sun cream on and hats for playtimes.
  
  We are happy for them to come to school in school T-shirts and shorts or even PE kit if it will help to keep them cool.
  
  Can you please also make sure they all have a drink bottle so we can make sure they drink lots of water.
  
  Thanks so much,
  
  Mrs Robbins
