Next week we will send out to all parents / carers a detailed schedule by post on which day your son / daughter can attend school when we re-open on the 29th June. Please be assured that we are adhering to the strict guidelines for re-opening as set out by Welsh Government.
The brief details to date are:
| w/c 29/06 | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year Group | Year 10 | Year 10 | Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 |
| Timings of the School Day | 8.45a.m – 12.45pm | ||||
Pupils will be placed in bubbles of ‘9’ with the same teacher and same children for the duration of the 4 weeks. Children in Years 7,8 and 9 will be grouped with members of their form class. However, year 10 will be grouped by ability sets.
Please find below a video link to our classroom setup arrangements.

Thank you for your response, can I take this opportunity to tell you how grateful I am for all the teachers hard work schooling my 2 children and giving them your best at all times. Please stay safe and be happy.
With regards to year 10 pupils who were supposed to take some exams this year, will they get their predicted grades in line with year 11 students?
Also, will their return be just as stated a catch up and check in phase or will they actually be doing core curriculum work in readiness for year 11?
As of yet I have received no letter and it is now the 20th June.
Can you please let me know what will happen during the 4 hours a week that the pupil attend school?
Will they actually be covering any of the syllabus with a teacher or will they receive support for the home schooling work already set online?
Thanks!
Sorry one more question!
Can you please let me know if the children will have access to toilets?
Thanks!
Good afternoon – the pupils will have access to the toilets within their wing along with hand sanitiser,
Will they be allowed to wear pe kit if their uniform no longer fits?
Good afternoon – we are currently looking into the uniform requirements but we will not be expecting parents to purchase new uniform at this moment in time.
What about the primary phase please
The Primary Phase will be open along with the secondary phase. Please email Mrs Llewelyn if you have any specific queries as some of their arrangements will be different.
Will all of the year 10 group be in, on both days Monday and Tuesday?
The plan is to have year 10 in for two days as they have their GCSEs next year. This will be reviewed in September when the new year 7 arrive.
Hi, what about primary phase? Are they going to come back on the 29th as well?
Hi, I originally indicated that my child would not be returning on 29th June as I needed more information to make my decision. With the information which is now being circulated I may change my mind. As such is my child able to return to school on 29th June if I am satisfied with the procedures being put in place.
Good afternoon – Both phases will re-open on June 29th.
Yes both phases will be re-opening on the same day.
Yes of course – If you could let us know if you change your mind we would be grateful but we understand that the situation is very changeable and you may feel unable to commit at the moment.
What will happen about school transport
Hi Anne,

I am also interested in knowing about school uniforms
Hi Jane,
Thank you for your message, we will be introducing a ‘relaxed’ uniform policy. Students will be expected to come in black trousers and shirt, no tie. Further details will be enclosed within the letter we are sending out to all parents/carers.

We will not be expecting the pupils to wear full uniform or parents to purchase anything new. We will be announcing the details shortly.
Can I take it from the list that year 11 are not coming back??
Hi Helen,
That’s correct, Year 11 won’t be returning. Further information will be detailed in the letter we are sending to all parents & carers.
