'What's App' Age Restrictions
Wed 20 Nov 2024Evening all,
Important for all children who have what’s app.
It appears that there are currently issues with children being added without their permission to what’s app groups that contain harmful and/or pornographic images. This seems to be happening across the local schools and wider area.
Please be extremely vigilant and talk to your children about this.
Can I remind you again, it’s for this reason children should not have such accounts.
The safest way to protect your child from this is to remove what’s app. It is an app for age 16+ users. There are other child friendly options they could use.
This evening a number of you have messaged me to let me know this has happened to Cwmcarn pupils.
Many thanks,
Mrs Beard-Robbins -
Extending Our Special Resource Bases
Fri 15 Nov 2024Good afternoon,
We have been working closely with the local authority to discuss further extending the capacity for our Special Resource Bases.
The extension to the current classes will make very little difference to your child as an unused classroom will be developed to support the children.
After extensive interview processes we have appointed Miss Clark to be the new class teacher for the SRB. In addition to this we have appointed Miss Courtney Lewis to be the teacher in Class 4 starting in January 2025.
Many of our pupils already know Miss Lewis as she has taught in a number of classes since our return to school in September. So she is a familiar face to all.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school with any further questions or queries.
Thank you for your continued support. -

Reminders for this week
Mon 11 Nov 2024Good morning,
Here’s some reminders for you for this week:
Tuesday 2pm - Babies and Toddlers
Wednesday - all children asked to wear odd socks whilst we talk about bullying issues.
Thursday at 9.15 at school - a meeting for all 36 parents/carers who have had a letter from us about young carers.
Friday - children in need. All children can wear their own clothes if they make a little donation to the charity.
As Class 1 and 2 are going on a trip on Friday for which they need to wear uniform, they can wear their own clothes on Thursday.
I hope this helps!
Many thanks,
Mrs Beard-Robbins -
