Summer Term Newsletter

As the end of the summer term approaches, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.  It has been another successful term and I am pleased to report that the new summer term examinations for all pupils went very well.  Y7-Y9 pupils have been collecting their results from these examinations, and you will have received reports this term about their progress. Y10 will receive their results at the beginning of the new term as part of their induction into their final year of GCSE.

There has been a great deal to celebrate this term:  Mr Phil George, Chairman of the Arts Council for Wales, attended our Lead Creative Schools presentation earlier this term, and stated that, of the 500+ Lead Creative Schools in Wales, “nobody does it better than St Cenydd”; the Y11 Prom at the Vale Hotel and Spa was a wonderful event; transition for Year 6 pupils has been very successful; and there has been a wealth of opportunities for our students to demonstrate their community spirit and their leadership skills.

Thank you again for your continued support and I wish all an enjoyable, happy and safe summer holiday break. 

Miss Rebecca V. Collins

Headteacher
