Dear Parents/Carers,

As you know a team of Estyn inspectors visited us this week to consider how we had progressed in addressing the recommendation from our core inspection in November 2022. They also spent the day looking at our progress towards an area of our School Development Plan from 23/24. We are very pleased ! We will receive a summary of progress letter on 19/11/24 that we can share with you.

Thanks to our friends of Tabernacle for welcoming R-Y6 to the chapel for our Harvest celebrations. The children sang and spoke beautifully, and we were thrilled to see so many of our parents/carers and families in attendance.
