Attendance: Our Attendance Officers are Mrs Matthews and Mrs Mordey-Jones. We monitor attendance closely, and all children should aim to be in school and on time every day. Improving attendance and punctuality remain a key focus for our school from the first day in September onwards. The first bell rings at 8.30am and all students should be on site in readiness for assemblies and form time by 8.25am.
Uniform: Please ensure that your child attends school in the correct school uniform every day. Our school uniform requirements fully comply with WG expectations, and our policy is on our school website.
Contact details: It is vitally important that the contact details we hold for you are correct. If your address or phone number have changed recently, please let our admin team know by emailing the school.
It was a pleasure to celebrate results with our students over the past few weeks and wonderful to note the many individual successes, with good numbers returning to our Sixth Form. We wish those students heading off to university, apprenticeships, work, or college every success and happiness.
As you know, we expect all to Aspire and Achieve here at St Cenydd by making positive choices each day to be Ready, Respectful, Safe i.e., ready to learn by arriving on time, with the right equipment and positively contributing to their learning; showing respect for themselves, others and their environment; safe choices, behaving well and in a sensible manner.
We look forward to welcoming our pupils back to school on Tuesday 2 September.
Yours sincerely
Miss Collins
Headteacher
