Comic Relief – Purple Class Fundraiser

Operation Encompass
The school has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and Gwent Police Force. Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to 9am on the next school day, when a child or young person has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident. Operation Encompass will ensure that a member of the school staff, known as a Key Adult, will use the information that has been shared, in confidence, in order to support any children who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
Speech and Language Therapy
The local Speech and Language Therapy team in Gwent/Aneurin Bevan have recently set up social media accounts to share tips and ideas to support children and young people’s speech, language and communication skills.

A reminder as well that our Eisteddfod will be held Tuesday 5th March. We invite your children to dress up. Pupils may wear traditional Welsh costume or a costume inspired by aspects of national importance.
