⭐ 5-Star Kitchen & Breakfast Club!
Congratulations to our Catering Manager, Cez, kitchen assistant Paulette, and our Breakfast Club staff. This week, our school kitchen was inspected by Public Health Wales and awarded the top 5-star hygiene rating! Earlier in the summer, our Breakfast Club also received a 5-star rating. We are so grateful for the team’s hard work in maintaining such high standards for our children.

Y5 Morfa Bay Trip
What a week! Year 5 had an amazing residential at Morfa Bay – brilliant weather, adventurous activities, and wonderful behaviour. A big thank you to the staff who accompanied the children and made it all possible.

Nursery, Reception & Year 1 – Porthcawl RNLI Visit
An unforgettable day! Our youngest pupils visited Porthcawl RNLI, watched a real rescue launch, and enjoyed beach play followed by ice cream. A huge thank you to the RNLI team for inspiring our children and showing them the lifesaving work they do.

First Honey Harvest at Llangan
History in the making! Pupils took part in their very first honey harvest: clearing frames, spinning, and jarring the golden honey. A huge thank you to Jonathan from Bridgend Beekeepers for guiding us through every step. The children loved learning about bees, hives, and honey – and we can’t wait to share the results with you!

Harvest Festival

Our Harvest Festival was a resounding success, and I would like to express my gratitude to all the parents and family members who joined us for this special event. The children and staff worked tirelessly to bring the festival together, and their hard work truly paid off. The performances were outstanding, with whole-school songs and class performances that left everyone in awe. 

Years 4, 5 & 6 – Visit to Wales Millennium Centre
To end the week, our older pupils enjoyed an inspiring schools’ concert with the Welsh National Opera. Sunshine, live music, and a taste of opera – the perfect Friday treat.

Year 6 Parents’ Meeting – Cowbridge Comprehensive
There will be a meeting for Year 6 parents and carers at Cowbridge Comprehensive School on Wednesday at 4:00 pm in the High School. This is an important opportunity to hear more about the transition process to secondary school and to ask any questions you may have.

Macmillan Coffee Morning – Thank You!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Macmillan Coffee Morning after the Harvest Festival. Thanks to your generous donations of cakes (and appetites!) we raised £162.12 for this wonderful charity. Your kindness and generosity are hugely appreciated.

PTA AGM – Monday 29th September, 7:30 pm
We will be holding our PTA Annual General Meeting in school on Monday 29th September at 7:30 pm. The PTA play a vital role in our small community school, raising funds to provide extra opportunities and resources for our children, as well as bringing families together. The AGM is a great way to get involved, meet other parents, and help plan the exciting events for the year ahead. We really do need your support – everyone is warmly welcome, and no contribution is too small.

Christmas Concert Dates – Important Update for Year 2 & 3 Families
There has been a little Christmas calendar confusion! To confirm:

• Nursery, Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 Christmas Play: Friday 12th December at 9:30 am and 2:00 pm

• Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 Junior Carol Concert: Wednesday 17th December at 10:30 am and 2:00 pm

This is slightly different from the information shared at the parents’ meeting in July. After finalising our December plans, we realised three separate concerts simply weren’t possible with rehearsals, hall use, and the many other festive events already in the calendar.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused – but promise the wait will be worthwhile. By December, we’ll all be more than ready for a sing-along to get us in the Christmas spirit! 

✨ Thank you to all our families for your continued support – what a busy and exciting start to the term!
