Mrs Rhiannon Laugharne has been appointed as the school’s new Family Officer. She will take up her new post in January and will be working on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

The Melin Gruffydd 2020 calendars are now on sale at the school – £10 each.

They include photos of all the children grouped according to the month of their birthdays.

If you would like to discuss any Safeguarding/Child Protection matters, please contact Mr James (Designated Safeguarding Person) or Mrs Dumbrill (Deputy Designated Safeguarding person). All conversations will be in strict confidence.

The children are bringing their language and Maths books home this weekend for you to see the work that is done in class. These books are one of the most important books that the children have in school – therefore they must be returned by Monday! Please return the bottom part of the letter with the work. Diolch

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
