Our girls’ football team was very unlucky today in the Urdd competition. Played really well all day, reached the final but then unluckily lost on in a penalty shoot out!
It was a very good day for our teams – congratulations to all the girls!

Rights Respecting school – Silver Award
Following an external assessment, we are delighted to confirm that Ysgol Melin Gruffydd has been awarded the Silver Award as a Rights Respecting School.
Achieving the Silver Award
The school is explicitly embedding the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in its policy, practice and culture
The school is promoting knowledge and understanding of the Convention throughout the school community
The school is putting into action and developing the plans outlined on the Action Plan for Silver, which was submitted to achieve the Bronze: Rights Committed
The school is beginning to see the positive impact of these actions on children and young people, staff, and on the school’s ethos, practice and environment
Children and young people are beginning to see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and advocates for fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally

SCHOOL STREET INITIATIVE
SCHOOL STREET INITIATIVE
Cardiff Council has decided to introduce the School Street initiative for Glan y Nant Road. School Street will go live on 06th January 2020.
How it Will Work
Motor vehicles will not be permitted to drive in the School Street between 8.30am to 9.15am and 2.45pm to 3.45pm, unless that vehicle has a valid School Street Permit. School Streets will not apply at the weekends and during August. Any legitimate visitors to your property will be permitted to leave the School Street, but will not be permitted to enter the street during the above times.
It is an offence to enter or drive in a School Street during prescribed times without a valid School Street permit. We will use enforcement cameras to monitor School Streets and issue fines (Penalty Charge Notices) to offenders.
In view of this enforcement cameras will be installed overlooking the entrance to the School Streets but they will not be switched on until the 06th January 2020. The cameras will not be manned but instead will automatically identify any vehicle without a permit during prohibited times. A short video clip is then recorded of the offending vehicle to be used as evidence.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter and for helping us make the school run safer for everyone involved.
Mr Illtud James
Pennaeth
