Dear Parents/Guardians,
It has been a busy start of the week at a busy time of year. I will try to get the information across as clearly as possible.
Transition
Last night we received a message from County informing us that all inschool and cross school transition was to be cancelled. In the first instance, this means that tomorrow’s (24.6.21) Year 6 transition to Bryn Alyn will not go ahead. This will also be the case for any other High school transitions. This is due to growing concern of Covid cases and a rise being seen across County and neighbouring counties. Year 6 pupils are to come to school as usual.
Sadly, it means that transition within school will also not go ahead. We are currently looking at alternatives to ease the move to different classes come September.
Next Year’s Classes
Over the past couple of weeks we have been finalising the groupings for next years classes. We will be sending these out next week.
Reports
Your child’s reports will be coming out to you on Friday 2nd July, they will be coming out in the normal format. However, due to the year being as it was, some of the information may be slightly reduced. I am sure you will understand why this is the case.
Testing
It has been a request by Welsh Government that schools make best endeavours to assess the pupils using the online National Reading and Numeracy Procedural tests. Over May and June, almost all pupils from Year 2 upwards have now completed these tests. As the reading reports will not be available to print and give out until September we will be sending out the feedback next term. If your child is Year 6 we will send these reports out via post.
Leavers
Mrs Jones and Mr McAteer are currently putting together something to celebrate the Year 6 pupils and their time here at Gwersyllt CP. More information will follow next week, however I would ask Year 6 pupils to save the date – 8th July 2021 roughly 6pm-8pm. More will be revealed shortly.
I think that is us up to speed at the moment. Hopefully, there won’t be too many more surprises over the next few weeks.
