  • Exciting News: Wrap Around Childcare is Coming to Romilly!

    Published 04/09/26

    We are delighted to share some exciting news for our Nursery families.

    From Monday 2nd November, Romilly Primary School will be opening a new Wrap Around childcare service for Nursery pupils.

    Children attending our morning Nursery session will be able to remain in school after Nursery finishes and access childcare from 11:30am until 3:20pm, Monday to Friday.

    We are especially pleased to confirm that Romilly has achieved its registration with Care Inspectorate Wales this week, which is a major step forward in getting the new provision ready to open.

    There will be a charge for the Wrap Around service, and we are completing the final arrangements so that eligible families can access government childcare support, including the Childcare Offer for Wales (30 hours) and Tax-Free Childcare, where applicable.

    Full information will be shared with families next week, including:

    • fees and funding;
    • booking arrangements;
    • how to apply; and
    • further information about how the provision will operate.

    Interested in a place?

    We know that a number of families have been waiting for confirmation of the provision before making decisions about their current childcare arrangements.

    If you think you may be interested in using Romilly Wrap Around, please complete our short Expression of Interest Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZRGGnuxC8Fif_ImLe9lakZnyWEQYxU-IuiG_IzFojpJRrkg/viewform?usp=header

    Complete the Expression of Interest Form

    Completing the form is not a formal booking and does not commit you to using the service. It will simply help us understand likely demand as we complete our final planning.

    We are really excited to be able to offer this new provision and hope it will provide greater flexibility and support for our Nursery families.

    More information will follow next week.

  • Staying Safe Around Water

    Published 10/07/26

    On Thursday 9th July, our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils welcomed Cliff and Lindsey from Whitmore Bay Lifeguards for an engaging and informative assembly all about water safety.

    With the summer holidays fast approaching, this was a timely opportunity for children to learn how to stay safe around the coast, rivers and open water. The assembly covered important messages about recognising hazards, making safe choices and knowing what to do in an emergency.

    Our pupils impressed everyone with their excellent listening skills, thoughtful questions and their existing knowledge of water safety. It was wonderful to see them so engaged throughout the session.

    A huge thank you to Cliff and Lindsey for giving up their time to deliver such a valuable and memorable assembly. Their expertise and enthusiasm helped ensure that our children are better equipped to enjoy the summer safely.

    To make sure every child benefits from these important safety messages, the presentation will also be shared with the year groups who were unable to attend the assembly, allowing teachers to revisit the key learning in class.

    At Romilly, we are committed to helping children develop the knowledge and confidence they need to keep themselves and others safe—both in school and beyond.
