• Closure - March 8th Due to Snow

  Wed 08 Mar 2023

  Morning all,
  
  We will not be open today due to the site being very unsafe, staff unable to travel in and the likely forecast for the day.
  
  All our other cluster schools ie. Newbridge, Abercan are also closed.
  
  There will be some ideas of tasks for your children and some snow related play ideas on class pages on dojo if you would like to use them. They will be posted by 9.30.
  
  Thanks very much for your understanding.
  
  Mrs Robbins

• Messaging on Dojo

  Tue 07 Mar 2023

  Morning all,
  
  We are having a few problems with dojo with lots of us getting identical messages from parents/carers so I thought it might really help to try to make it clearer who you need to message and when.
  
  1) All absences should be sent to Mrs Reardon who manages attendance. You do not then need to message the teacher as well. Mrs Reardon passes all messages on.
  
  2) If you have any questions or worries about your child you should message their teacher. The teacher will get back to you after they have finished teaching for the day, either that day or the following day or so.
  
  3) If you have a very serious matter to discuss or you are unhappy about an answer you have been given by a member of staff then you should message myself or the Deputy Head, Mrs Seamons.
  
  4) If your message is extremely urgent you should ring school as most of us check dojo every few hours but on a very busy day in school we may not check until the end of the day.
  
  
  Thank you very much for helping us with this.
