We are delighted to be offering a varied programme of after-school clubs this term. The clubs will begin during the week commencing Monday 21 September.

On Monday 14th September, we will email families with details of the clubs available and information about how to request a place through the Arbor app.

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.

A huge congratulations to Sophia Crespo and Pheobe Clutterbuck, who will be leaving us on Monday to represent Wales in San Sebastián at the Global Dance Open, the world's largest dance competition. Being selected to compete at such a prestigious international event is an incredible achievement and reflects their hard work, dedication, and talent.

Thank you to everyone who attended our PTA summer discos

Our wonderful PTA  have raised an amazing £1487.63!!! 

All money raised will be going towards our new school library, which will be a wonderful resource base for the children. 

 

This afternoon, our Year 3 children proudly performed in a fantastic Pbuzz Concert, celebrating everything they have learned over the past eight weeks.

Led by Gareth from the Cardiff and Vale Music Service and funded by the Welsh Government, the Pbuzz project has given every child the opportunity to learn to play a brass instrument, develop their musical skills, build confidence and experience the joy of making music together.

Our school canteen was packed with parents, carers and family members, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The children were absolutely delighted to perform to such an enthusiastic and supportive audience, and they should all be incredibly proud of what they have achieved in such a short space of time.

A huge thank you to Gareth for inspiring our young musicians and supporting them throughout the project.

Well done, Year 3 – you were amazing!
