• Stranger Danger Update

  Thu 11 Sep 2025

  Good afternoon,
  
  We have had a further update from the Police in relation to the incident with a stranger in a local Caerphilly School. We have been given very little other info at the moment. As soon as I know more, I will of course, pass it on.
  
  
  The update is as follows from police:
  
  Parents to collect children from school where possible this week.
  In the event of an incident, children to call 999, get to a safe space and get registration of vehicle if possible from the safe space.
  
  
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins

• Stranger Danger

  Thu 11 Sep 2025

  We have received information that there has very recently been a stranger approaching children at the end of the school day around a secondary school in Caerphilly. The police are aware of this and are working with the school and wider community. We will be reminding children in Cwmcarn about stranger danger, and staying safe on the way home and in the community, but could you please follow this up with reminders at home.

• Scooters

  Wed 10 Sep 2025

  Morning all,
  
  A reminder that Y5/6 can ride scooters to school if they wish and store them at school.
  
  At the moment if any other children ride scooters parents/carers have to take them back home.
  
  As soon as we can we will look to buy more storage for scooters so more children can store them on site.
  
  Many thanks for your understanding,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins

• For the attention of Y6 Parents/Carers

  Fri 05 Sep 2025

  For the attention of Y6 Parents/Carers
  
  Good morning,
  
  Just a reminder that you need to apply for your place in Comprehensive as soon as possible. Applications are now open and close at the end of October but the sooner you apply the better.
  
  We will send home a flyer with the children very soon but you can apply using:
  
  www.caerphilly.gov.uk/schooladmissions
  
  Please don’t put this off as every year we have one or two who forget and then their chosen school, usually Newbridge, is full.
  
  We can help if you find it difficult to fill out forms.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins

• School Crossing Update

  Wed 03 Sep 2025

  Unfortunately we are still without a lollipop lady and are uncertain as to when she will return.

  
  The local authority advertised for a position after our previous lollipop lady left but unfortunately there were no applications. If you have any concerns regarding parking / crossing outside the school, please contact the local authority as the school has no control over the parking / crossing situation.

  
  If you drive your children to / from school please be mindful of children crossing when nearing the school. If you have children in year 5 and 6 that walk to / from school on their own, please remind them to cross safely, not behind parked cars and to look both ways.

  
  As soon as we have any further updates we will let you know.

• Newsletter September 2025

  Wed 03 Sep 2025

  Good morning all,
  
  You can find a digital copy of this term's newsletters on our website, under Newsletter section.
  
  We hope to send paper copies home as soon as possible, but there may be a delay as our photocopier is not happy!
  
  The date to note firstly is next Monday's meet the teacher sessions which will run in all mainstream classrooms. The first will be 3.25pm and then a repeat at 3.45pm in case you have more than one child.
  
  I know there are a few of you with more than two children so hopefully you can rope in a grandparent or another parent/carer to pass the info on to you.
  
  If you are finding this difficult let us know and we can provide a paper or digital copy of any session you miss.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins
