Start of term plan
You will now be aware of the decision made by Welsh Government to move all schools to online learning until 18th January. A statement from Kirsty Williams (Director of Education) can be found on our school website or by following this link.
Written statement by the Welsh Government
City and county of Swansea statement
‘Following last night’s announcement by the Welsh Government, all schools, colleges and independent schools will 
move to online learning until January 18th. The position on childcare remains unchanged and schools will look to provide a service to our most vulnerable children and those key workers that have no other option available to them from 6 January onwards. This provision should only be accessed as a last resort and wherever possible pupils should remain home. All schools will provide remote learning from Wednesday 6 January. Additional payments or food parcels will be provided for learners entitled to free school meals during the period of home learning.’ Helen Morgan-Rees (Interim Director of Education)
Home Learning will be available for all pupils to complete from first thing tomorrow morning. We hope that all children will enjoy learning and communicating with their teachers. If you have any problems, or require paper packs due to technology issues, please let us know. You should have your class teachers’ email address and teachers will be available to respond during school hours, health permitting. Pupils will also be able to communicate with their class teacher via the learning platforms (this will become clear as you access the learning). Alternatively, you can phone or email the school, during school hours.
Foundation phase children will be able to access their learning and communicate with their teachers through Seesaw. Please visit the classroom pages on the school website to view a message from the teacher and advice on how to access activities.
Key Stage 2 children will be able to access their home learning through J2e on the HWB platform. All pupils require is their HWB login details.
