The First Minister has just announced plans for the introduction of new Wales-wide measures to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. A national ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown will come into force at 6.00pm on Friday 23rd October and will run for two weeks, ending at midnight on Sunday 8th November 2020. The arrangements will apply to the whole of Wales and will replace all existing ‘local lockdown’ arrangements that are currently in place, including those that have been in place across Caerphilly. All non-essential shops and businesses will close for this period. Primary Schools will reopen as planned after half term on 2nd November 2020. Although we are not directly affected by this announcement I still urge everyone to be prepared for anything that may come our way in the future. Please also ensure you remain 2m distance when dropping off and picking up children. As usual, when I receive updates myself – I will let everyone know!

Here are the items we have available with suggested donations for the Poppy Appeal 2020. We also have a standard Poppy available for a donation of your choice.

To purchase an item:

1: Place the exact money in a sealed envelope. We will not accept any money that is not in an envelope and will not be giving change.

2: On the front of the envelope write your child’s name along with the item(s) you are purchasing.

3: Your child needs to take the sealed envelope into class and will place it in a box. (The class teacher will show the children what to do).

4: The class teacher will let the office know and the order will be delivered to classrooms.
