Mr M. Morgan

Mae’n bleser gennym rannu, oherwydd gwaith anhygoel ein Pencampwyr Plant y Lluoedd Arfog, Mrs Abegayle Challenger a Jenny Thomas, ein bod heddiw wedi ennill statws Gwobr Aur Ysgol Gyfeillgar y Lluoedd Arfog, yr ysgol 3-16 gyntaf yng Nghymru i dderbyn y gydnabyddiaeth genedlaethol hon.

We are delighted to share that due to the amazing work of our Service Children Champions, Mrs Abegayle Challenger and Jenny Thomas, we have today been awarded the status as a Gold Award Armed Forces Friendly School, the first 3-16 school in Wales to receive this national recognition.

Clwb Celf/Art Club

Mr M. Morgan

Daeth 16 o artistiaid brwdfrydig i’n clwb celf ar ôl ysgol cyntaf heddiw. Fe wnaethon nhw archwilio cyfansoddi trwy ddefnyddio dim ond 3 llinell yn arddull yr artist Etel Adnan, roedd hi’n adnabyddus am ei thirweddau syfrdanol, rwy’n siŵr y bydd y rhain yn datblygu i fod yn ganlyniadau gwych yr wythnos nesaf.

16 enthusiastic artists attended our first after school art club today. They explored composition by using just 3 lines in the style of the artist Etel Adnan, she was known for her stunning landscapes, I’m sure these will develop into fantastic outcomes next week.

Summer School Uniform

Mr R. Rees

Dear Parents and Carer,

Each year, depending on the weather we review the wearing of PE kit as a summer uniform. In response to weather reports we will be allowing all pupils to wear PE kit to school after the Easter Holiday.

I would like to be clear that pupils in have two options only.  To wear normal school uniform or to wear normal PE kit. Inappropriate garments such as Crocs, hotpants and normal sportswear will not be permitted, and my team will be contacting home where pupils do not respect our policy.  Our full uniform requirements are set out in full here: https://bit.ly/YBBUniform

If pupils do not have the correct PE kit, then they must wear their normal school uniform.

I would ask that Year 11 continue to wear uniform to their formal examinations which begin in May.  The examination hall has air conditioning.

We hope this compromise to our uniform policy will support pupils to be more comfortable in class without compromising our expectations for high standards.

Yours faithfully.

R. Rees

Headteacher.
