Neurodiversity Celebration Week

11 Mar 2026

Next week we will be celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week in school. As part of this, we would like to encourage the children to come to school on Wednesday 18th March wearing something that makes them feel happy, comfortable, or expresses who they are. This could be a favourite colour, a fun accessory, a cosy jumper, or anything that helps them feel their best.

The aim is to celebrate how everyone’s brains work differently and to promote acceptance, understanding, and kindness.

Children should still wear suitable clothing for a normal school day, including appropriate footwear for playtimes.

Thank you for your support in helping us celebrate what makes each of us unique.

Cinderella Pantomime - Thursday 4th December

18 Sep 2025

Dear Parents and Carers

Trip to the Pantomime for pupils in Years 1 & 2 on Thursday 4th December.

We would like to take the children to see Cinderella at Theatre Clwyd, Mold.
The cost is £12 to cover admission to the theatre. The cost of the transport will be paid with the proceeds of ticket sales from the Christmas concerts.
Payments can now be made on School Gateway.
The trip is a Christmas treat for pupils, it is not a curriculum trip. Therefore, the theatre tickets are funded solely by payments made by parents and carers. Unfortunately, we do not have sufficient funds in our school budget to cover ticket costs and therefore children will only be able to go to the theatre if the £12 payment is made.
Please could you pay via School Gateway payment facility and give consent by clicking on the link below by Friday 3rd October as we need to confirm numbers and pay the theatre.
Y1 & 2 Cinderella Pantomime Trip Consent form 2025 - Google Forms

Pupils who do not go to the theatre should attend school as usual.
Yours sincerely,
Nicola Cooper

Gwella - Enrolment for Swimming Lessons

12 Sep 2025

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Swimming is not only a fun activity but also a vital life skill. It helps children build confidence, stay active, and, most importantly, stay safe in and around water. We know that not all children are currently able to access school swimming lessons, and we want to make sure every child has the chance to learn this essential skill.
To support families, Gwella is offering a variety of swimming lessons for children of all ages and abilities. We also provide specialised sessions for pupils with ALN, ensuring they can learn in a supportive environment alongside peers with similar needs. These sessions are designed to help every child progress at their own pace, gain water confidence, and enjoy the many benefits that come with learning to swim.
Taking part in lessons now is a great way to give your child a head start before school swimming begins, or simply to boost their confidence and enjoyment of the water.
Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to book early to secure a place. For more details or to reserve a lesson, please contact us at swim@gwella.wales
We look forward to welcoming your child to the pool and supporting them on their swimming journey.
Best wishes,
The Gwella Swim Team

Year 6 Leavers Service - Message from Mrs Cooper

17 Jul 2025

I'm sure you will all agree it was a wonderful Leavers Service from year 6 last night, thankfully there were more moments of laughter than crying. I'm sure you would like to join me in saying a few big thank you's to key members of staff, firstly to Mr Jones and Mrs Kevan for preparing the children for the fabulous performance, as year 6 teachers they have done an amazing job in developing their confidence, maturity and independence in readiness for high school. Miss Jones worked hard on props, and a special thank you to the behind the scenes crew, Israr, Alfie and Isabelle! I wish you all a wonderful summer!

Thank you for an amazing year

16 Jul 2025

Subject: Thank You for an Amazing Year! 🌟

Dear Parents and Carers,

Wow — what a year it’s been! As we come to the end of this school year, I just want to say a huge thank you for all your support, encouragement, and teamwork along the way.

I know it’s been a year full of challenges and achievements, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Your involvement means the world to us and makes such a difference to our pupils' learning and happiness.

I hope you and your family get a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy some quality time together over the summer break. Here’s to a fantastic summer and looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another great year ahead!

Warm wishes,

Mrs Cooper.

Goodbye and Good Luck

16 Jul 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of term, we wanted to let you know that we will be saying goodbye to three much-loved members of our school team.

After 23 years, Mrs Morrison is heading into a well-earned retirement after many wonderful years of working at Golftyn. Her hard work warmth and dedication as a cleaner and 1-1 support will be hugely missed by everyone – staff and pupils alike!

After 21 years, Reverend Piercy is off to start an exciting new chapter as a vicar. While we will miss him at school, we are so proud and know he will bring the same care and kindness to his new role as he did here.

Miss Griffiths will be starting her PGCE training. It has been a pleasure having her as part of the team, and we wish her all the very best as she takes this next step in her teaching journey.

We are incredibly grateful for everything they have all done and we know you will join us in wishing them all lots of luck and happiness for the future.

Warm wishes,
Mrs Cooper
