Home time arrangements for Year 5’s Christmas production on Tuesday 12th December
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to this year’s Year 5 production of ‘No-one wraps like an Elf’ on Tuesday 12th December at 1.30pm and 5.30pm in the school hall. Our production is approximately 1 hour in length. -Following the children’s 1.30 performance, children can either be collected early from the side gate, at the front of the school, by a known family member, where each child will be dismissed one at a time at this gate OR they can collected at normal time (3.10) from either the top or bottom gate, as per their usual home time arrangements. *Please note that children cannot walk home unaccompanied before 3.10 and the children’s siblings cannot be collected from their classes early. In addition, the children cannot leave early with anyone else’s parents, unless the class teacher has been notified in advance (Monday 11th) by the school office. -The children need to return to school for their evening performance at 4.50 via the main entrance of the school, where they will go to their classroom to get ready in their costumes. They will be signed in by a member of staff as they arrive. -Following the children’s 5.30 performance, children are to be collected from the school hall where the children will be dismissed one at a time by Mrs House and Mrs Hardy to a known family member. *Please note that children cannot walk home following the evening performance, so there will need to be arrangements in place for your child to be collected at 6.30 if nobody is coming to watch this performance. If you have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs House or Mrs Hardy. Many thanks and we hope you enjoy the show 🙂 Mrs House and Mrs Hardy |

Cyber Safety Information |
| 06 Dec 2023 |
Following the Cyber Safety Parents' Evening, some parents asked if we share the below information.
WWW.INTERNETMATTERS.ORG There is a Social Media section on their page which provides a ‘step by step’ guide on how set the security setting for each site.
Always report any suspicious activity online particularly if you are concerned with content your child has seen or if someone has been speaking to your child you do not know. All Social Media Sites contain adult material, so negotiating Social Media can be difficult for a child.

Cyber Safety |
| 16 Nov 2023 |
After last year’s success we have invited the Cyber Crime Officer from Cheshire Constabulary back to provide essential cyber knowledge for children, staff and parents. In a world where 50% of 3-5 year olds have an online presence, it’s more important then ever that children understand how easy it is to break the law when using social media platforms and what they can do to protect themselves from online dangers and predators. This no-nonsense one hour presentation pulls no punches. It explains a case study of a school boy who found himself being arrested for being an online bully. It also looks at how social media works, what happens with people’s data, new legislation and how Artificial Intelligence is changing the world. We would like to invite you to Golftyn CP School on Wednesday 29th November 2023 5.30pm - 6.30pm. Please complete the Google Form if you would like to book a place.

Christmas Panto Information |
| 17 Oct 2023 |
Dear Parents and Carers Trip to the Pantomime for pupils in Reception, Years 1,2,3,4,5 & 6on Thursday 14th DecemberWe would like to take the children to see Pinocchio at William Aston Hall, Wrexham. The cost is £10 to cover admission to the theatre and a contribution towards transport. The remainder of the transport cost will be paid with the proceeds of ticket sales from the Christmas concerts. Payments can be made in installments 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 £10 payment is made. Please could you pay and give consent via School Gateway payment facility by Friday 1st December as we need to confirm numbers and pay the theatre. The children will be travelling to the theatre by coach in the morning and will be back in school for a late dinner. Pupils who do not go to the theatre should attend school as usual. Yours sincerely, Nicola Cooper & Claire Thompson |

Information from the Welsh Government re. free school meals holiday provision. |
| 05 Jul 2023 |
Holiday provision for learners that are eligible for a free school meal was introduced in response to the COVID pandemic as a form of time-limited support to help families. While we have been able to support several temporary continuations of the scheme, we confirmed in March 2023 that the most recent extension would be up to the end of the May half term only. I can now confirm that this remains the case and that there will be no further extension to cover the summer holiday period or beyond. Get help with the cost of living | GOV.WALES Here to help with the cost of living | GOV.WALES The School Holiday Enrichment Programme (SHEP) is a school-based scheme that provides healthy meals, food and nutrition education, physical activity and enrichment sessions to children in areas of socio-economic disadvantage during the school holidays. The programme is managed by WLGA and is promoted to children and families under the ‘Food and Fun’ brand identity.

Message from Flintshire County Council regarding School Essential Grants |
| 30 Jun 2023 |
Dear Schools, We would like to communicate the message below to as many parents and guardians as possible, and as you have the lines of communication in place already, we are hoping you will be able to help facilitate this. School Essential Grants – Academic Year 23/24 This year we are trying to improve the process for claiming a School Essentials Grant (formerly Uniform Grant). We are hoping to reduce the need for form filling, and speed up the process of issuing the payments, therefore enabling the majority of parents and guardians to receive the payment before the end of July. These payments will be issued in respect of children where the parent or guardian is able to answer YES to ALL of following questions; • Are your children in receipt of eFSM? • Are your children in Year 1 or above? • Have you been receiving payments in lieu of eFSM during the school holidays? • Did you receive a School Essentials Grant (formerly known as Uniform Grant) between 1st July 2022 and 30th June 2023? If you answer YES to ALL of the questions above, then you do not need to apply for a School Essential Grant this year, as the payments will be issued automatically by 30th July 2023. If you have not received the payment by 30th July 2023, please email freeschoolmeals@flintshire.gov.uk to advise the payment has not been received. If your child is entering reception, is moving from a school outside of Flintshire, or your circumstances have changed meaning you are now eligible for Free School Meals and a School Essential Grant, you will need to complete an application. This form can be found on Flintshire’s website by searching for ‘Free School Meals’ or by typing in the short URL www.flintshire.gov.uk/FSM. |

'Stay safe inside' drill |
| 23 Jun 2023 |
It is good practice to undertake a ‘stay safe inside’ drill. In this morning’s assembly the children were told about the ‘stay safe inside’ drill that will be taking place next week and the procedure was explained so that they know what to expect. The purpose of the drill is to protect the children and adults in the building from a potential danger such as a loose dog on the grounds or air pollution from the power station. As part of this drill we will ring the school bell and classroom doors and blinds will be closed when the children are safely inside. |

Message for Year 5 and Year 6 |
| 19 Jun 2023 |
On Thursday Year 5 and Year 6 have been invited to take part in Ras yr Iath with other primary schools from the area. This is NOT for the Year 6 children in the Festival workshop as they have a rehearsal in school at the same time. The event will be held will be held on Thursday 22 June at Deeside Stadium, Connah ’s Quay at 10:00am. We should be back at school for normal lunchtime, however I am awaiting confirmation about that and will let you know once I do. The traditional length of a stage of the race is about a mile, which means 4 times around the course for each school, but as this is a relay race that challenge will be shared between the pupils. The children will be making a ‘torch’ to hold and carry during the race. The torch will have messages about what the Welsh language means to us; we will be exchanging our torches with those from another school. The event will help the children to realise that the Welsh language truly is 'Yma o Hyd!' To help with the making of the torches, we would really appreciate the children bringing in a kitchen roll or toilet roll centre to use. If you prefer for your child NOT to take part, please let us know in the usual ways. |

Message from Miss Thompson |
| 14 Jun 2023 |
Next year, we will be mixing up the current classes to create more opportunities for children to learn with a wider variety of peers. This will enable greater social interaction between children as they move through the school, as we have found that working with different Learning Partners has had a positive impact on children's learning. We feel it will also develop confidence and will extend friendship groups to support the pupils to be adaptable. We are striving to ensure all pupils are 'Ambitious, Capable Learners' and 'Healthy, Confident Individuals' and we strongly believe that this change will have a positive impact. Your child will find out who their next teacher is on Friday 30th June. Thank you for your continued support. |

School Transport - September 2023 |
||||||||||||||
| 07 Jun 2023 | ||||||||||||||
School Transport September 2023 As you will be aware over the last couple of years we have changed the way in which parents apply for school transport, the process has worked extremely well and we have therefore continued with the same the process for a number of years. For information, I have included a copy of the timetable below, please note all parents need to complete the application form for school transport online (I have attached the link to the online form and process below) http://www.flintshire.gov.uk/en/Resident/Schools/School-Transport-Application.aspx School Transport Timetable 2023/2024
The above timetable shows a closing date for parents to complete applications by the 31st May 2023, and whilst we have received a high number of application forms to date, I would be grateful if you could please encourage parents of Year 6 pupils to apply for transport to secondary school for September 2023 as soon as possible. Please note: - providing that a pupils home address / school attended have not changed, there is no need for parents to re-apply for school transport every year. Thank you |

Urgent message from After School Club |
| 19 May 2023 |
Dear parent or guardian, Due to the current cost of inflation we are having to increase the prices to the after school club setting. We understand that everybody is facing struggles due to the rising cost of living so we are trying to accommodate different collection times to help ease this. The new time slots and prices as of the 19th June 2023 are: Time slot Price 3-3:30pm £3.50 3-4pm £5.00 3-4:30pm £6.50 3-5pm £8.00 3-5:30pm £10.00 3-6pm £12.00 Due to the changes above we require you to sign a google form on the Golftyn school website After School club page, click here for the form. This will be then added to your current afterschool club contract. If you are not happy with the increases above and do not sign the google form we cannot take your children into the setting as this breaches the contract made between us on registration. With your support on this matter we can continue to provide the care, snack options and activities that the children love. Thank you for your understanding. GASC. |
