Message from Headteacher 02.10.20

Dear Parent/Carer, 

The Council’s Contact Tracing Service (Public Health Wales) have advised us that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within our school. However, as the individual involved has not been in school for over a week, there is no further action for the school to take at this stage. I wanted to inform and reassure you that all necessary processes are being followed, in consultation with a range of agencies and wanted to keep you up to date with the current situation.  

 Many thanks, once again, for your continued support during this difficult time. 

 Diolch

Message from the Headteacher

Please accept my sincere apologies for the confusion that has arisen this evening for our Year 11 and Year 12 learners and parents. Our texting system has sent multiple messages which have been delayed and hence out of sequence and this has caused undue confusion.

As per earlier communication please can all learners in Year 11 & Year 12 please check their school email account for the email that was sent after 6pm this evening from the Deputy Headteacher. 

Diolch 

Mrs C Morgans
