Message from Rupert's Dad đ |
| 17 Jun 2026 |
My son, Rupert, is one year old and lives with Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC), an ultra-rare neurological condition affecting approximately 1 in 1 million people. AHC can cause episodes of paralysis, seizures, breathing difficulties and a range of other complex symptoms. Despite everything he faces, Rupert continues to smile through the challenges and inspire those around him. To help raise awareness of AHC, weâve launched the #7ForRupert Challenge alongside the World Cup. The challenge is simple: â˝ Do 7 keepy-uppies (or as many as you can!) đš Record a short video đ˛ Share it on social media using #7ForRupert đĽ Nominate 3 others to take part The challenge isnât about football ability. Itâs about having fun, getting active and helping spread awareness of a condition that very few people have ever heard of. We would be incredibly grateful if the school could share the challenge with parents via email, newsletters or social media, and encourage pupils to get involved with their families. Every participant helps Rupertâs story reach a little further and raises awareness of AHC. Thank you for taking the time to read this email and for any support you may be able to offer.  Kind regards, Dave Rupertâs Dad đđ  #7ForRupert #RupertsRainbow #AHC |

Neurodiversity Celebration Week |
| 11 Mar 2026 |
Dear Parents/Carers,
Â
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 everyoneâs 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.
Â
Mrs Williams

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 |

Subject: Thank You for an Amazing Year! đ
Dear Parents and Carers,
Wow â what a year itâs 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 itâs been a year full of challenges and achievements, and we couldnât 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. Hereâs 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 â 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, |
