End of year message from Mrs Cooper |
| 17 Jul 2026 |
Dear Parents and Carers, As we reach the end of another busy school year at Golftyn, I wanted to say a huge well done to all of our wonderful children. It has been a fantastic year full of success and happy memories!
The children have worked so hard and tried their best with every challenge. We have had so much fun together along the way. From exciting school trips and fun activities to sports days and sporting events and competitions. Residentials, St. David’s Day Celebrations and Forest School, the school has been full of smiles and laughter. It has been amazing to watch the children grow in confidence every single day.
None of this could happen without you. Thank you so much for all of your help and support this year. We enjoy working with you to make our school a happy place for the children.
Now, it is time for a well-earned rest! We hope you and your family have a wonderful, safe, and happy summer holiday. Let’s hope this weather stays and we get plenty of sunshine!
We can't wait to see you all again and hear about your summer stories when we welcome the children back on Wednesday, 2nd September.
Have a lovely summer!
Warmest wishes,
Mrs. Cooper |

Message from Rupert's Dad 🌈 |
| 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, we’ve launched the #7ForRupert Challenge alongside the World Cup. The challenge is simple: ⚽ Do 7 keepy-uppies (or as many as you can!) 📹 Record a short video 📲 Share it on social media using #7ForRupert 👥 Nominate 3 others to take part The challenge isn’t about football ability. It’s 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 Rupert’s 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 Rupert’s Dad 🌈💛 #7ForRupert #RupertsRainbow #AHC |

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