  • Calendar Update 20.02.2025

    Thu 20 Feb 2025

    20th February 2025

     

    Dear Parents,

     

    Please find below the school calendar for the upcoming months. Some things are to be TBC (To be confirmed) and information will follow as soon as plans are finalised. The school calendar can also be found on the school website www.stmarysllanelli.org under the News and Events>Calendar tab as well as on this letter which can be found on the Notice Board at the bottom of the website page. Did you also know that much of the information on the website can be read in a wide range of languages – to change your language, please click on the tab next to the search magnifying glass at the top right of the page.

     

    Thank you for your cooperation with the car park. It was unfortunate that we have had to cone off some areas but for safety reasons as advised it was essential. Further changes will be happening to the car park in the coming months – we will keep you posted.

     

    Please visit the link for this term’s School Scoop – QR code has been shared on school social media https://sway.cloud.microsoft/OWEsRJAdu1yDmQM8?ref=email

     

    Attendance as you know from letters issued in January, is something that we are monitoring as a school and at local authority level. Improvement has been noted this term for many pupils – thank you for your support and cooperation on improving your child’s attendance. For those whose attendance continues to be a concern, you will receive a letter after half term inviting you to attend a meeting with Mrs Howells.

     

    After half term, we will have an electronic signing in system for visitors and for any pupil who arrives late or leaves early. We ask that an adult comes to the school’s main reception if they are late arriving or picking up early  in order to sign in/out on the electronic system.

     

    We have noticed a recent increase in pupils not wearing school uniform. As a gentle reminder, our uniform consists of black or grey trousers, skirts, pinafores with a white polo t-shirt and a royal blue jumper or cardigan (preferably with a school logo on the jumper) with black shoes. PE kit consists of a blue round neck t-shirt and dark bottoms. We are in the process of changing the colour of the PE t shirt to a royal blue, but this won’t be in place until September 2025. Before buying any uniform, please always check with us first as we have some pre-loved uniform free for you to have (FYI- we are running low on middle sizes age 5-9 at the moment).  If you prefer to buy new uniform, please visit the Picton Sports shop in Dafen (or their online shop)  https://www.pictonsports.co.uk/
