• Attendance Note

  Fri 29 Apr 2022

  The summer term has started and week 1 is complete.

  We have had mixed attendance again and Year 11 particularly must attend daily, a day off here and there is going to negatively impact GCSE marks.
  There are learners who may miss the grade that reflects their true ability by just a few marks because they’ve missed their revision session or a past paper practice.

  You can help your child, what ever their year group, by ensuring:

  • your child goes to bed at a reasonable hour
  • turns off the phone or games console at this time
  • gets up in good time for transport
  • appointments are made outside school hours

  Thankyou for your support in this and we look forward to continuing to work together.

• Farewell to Ms Jones

  Sat 09 Apr 2022

  We were sad to say goodbye to Ms Steph Jones today, one of our excellent teaching staff. Ms Jones was described by the Head as a creative, hard working, supportive teacher who had ensured her class of KS3 learners had flourished in every way since September.

  Colleagues described a true friend, humorous and thoughtful, talented and caring colleague who they will miss.

  We wish Ms Jones every success in her new post at ITEC and she will be sadly missed by both friends, colleagues and our learners. 
  Pob Lwc! 

  

• New Curriculum for Wales workshop for parents

  Wed 06 Apr 2022

  Great to welcome a small number of KS3 parents to school today for refreshments and to discuss the changes to the curriculum in September.
  Ty Gwyn has always taught literacy, numeracy and digital skills within a thematic framework and this will continue with the added dimensions of:

  • the international perspective
  • careers and the world of work
  • the Welsh perspective
  • relationships and sexuality education

  We are very excited to be moving forward and staff will be using future INSET days to ensure we meet all the requirements with an inclusive and engaging roadmap of topics and themes linked to our learners’ interest. 
  Thanks again to our parents and carers.
