• Mad Lab

  Wed 23 Sep 2020 C.McCall

  We hosted a Mad Science Assembly Show today LIVE in school yesterday. If the children enjoyed their experience, there’s an opportunity for you to continue the Science discovery with their online virtual Science Club from home.

  Every Tuesday at 4.15pm!  It’s a great way to keep their minds active and nurture their curiosity. The best thing is they get a dedicated Mad Scientist each week to lead them through the fun activities and includes an at home experiment, and take home packs to do too.

   

  Visit www.madlablive.co.uk to book on for 6 or 8 Week Course, or even try one of the FREE Taster Sessions every Wednesday!

   

  Every Tuesday 4.15pm online via Zoom.

  • Fun, Interactive & Educational
  • At home experiments you can do along with us
  • Flexible Options of Single Classes, 6 or 8 Week Courses
  • Suitable for ages 5-11

• Sustrans Parent Survey

  Wed 15 Jul 2020 C.McCall

   

  Dear parents,

  Welcome to the Sustrans Parent Survey.

  Thank you for taking part in this survey. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

  This national survey will help us to measure the impact of Sustrans' work at your child(ren)’s school, assisting us in meeting our aim of increasing the number of pupils travelling actively to school. The survey will also help us to measure how the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated lockdown have impacted active travel uptake. We can only do this with your help. Your feedback is important as it’s the best way for us to understand the impact of our work in schools and the wider community.

  Your answers will remain anonymous.

  Many thanks,

  Roger Dutton, Active Journeys officer

• * IMPORTANT * information regarding Whitsun half term and school reports.

  Thu 21 May 2020

  Dear Parents

   

  Coming to the end of this half term we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our pupils and their families for your continued support over this very challenging time. As next week is half term holidays there will be no home learning planning set. Teaching staff will not be available on their hwb emails over this time, however if you have any urgent communications the admin email will be accessed during the week.

   

  As the school is currently closed, this year we will be emailing pupil’s End of Year Reports to parents. If this is not you’re preferred email address please could you contact the school on admin.coychurch@bridgend.gov.uk with your up to date details.

   

  Wishing you all a very happy Whitsun half term break.

  Many thanks.

  Regards

  Mrs A Thomas

• Important Update

  Wed 18 Mar 2020 Mrs A Thomas

  Dear Parents

   

  I am sure you will appreciate that the ever changing COVID 19 situation has had a huge impact on all of our lives and the last few weeks in school have been very challenging for us all, including the staff, children and their families.

   

  We have done everything possible to minimise the effect on the children’s learning and wellbeing and have been very busy preparing for possible school closures.

   

  Following the decision by Welsh Government today, the school will be closed from the end of the school day on Friday 20^th March.

   

  Please refer to the Minister for Education's statement below:

   

  https://gov.wales/statement-minster-education-kirsty-williams-school-closures-wales

   

  Children will be sent home today with home learning packs and additional information will be posted on the class pages on the school website.

   

  We are also setting up Microsoft teams for older pupils in KS 2 and will forward relevant information to pupils and parents by email.

   

  If you have any queries or concerns please email admin.coychurch@bridgend.gov.uk

   

  We will endeavour to keep you fully informed of any developments by email or posts on the school website.

   

  Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

   

  Kind Regards
