• Final Farewell

  Mon 30 Sep 2019 M Kaye

  It's with great sadness that we have to say a final farewell to Ken King former Chair of Governors for Croesty Primary School. Mr King passed away recently at the Princess of Wales Hospital and will be fondly remembered I'm sure by a great many people who have had a connection to Croesty Primary School since its opening in June 1970. Ken completed an astonishing 38 years unbroken service as a Governor and Chair of Governors for our School. In this time Mr King presided over many changes and some difficult times. As a school community we will always remember him for the tremendous contribution that he made to the success of Croesty.

  Mr King finally retired as a governor in July 2012 but continued to visit  taking a strong interest in our school. He last visited us this July for our Summer Fete which he very much enjoyed. A highlight of this visit for Mr King was meeting  our new Chair of Governors, William Bond.

  Our thoughts and sympathy are now with Mr King's wife, his two daughters and the family.

   

• Late at the Gate

  Mon 30 Sep 2019 Croesty

  Our Educational Welfare Officer is with us this week monitoring lateness in the mornings with the 'Late at the Gate' programme.

  Please remember that all children should be in school and lined up ready for class by 08:55 and our gates should be closed at 09:00.

  We have seen a big drop in attendance at Croesty over the last school year and we really want to encourage families not to take holidays out during term time if at all possible. As a school we've been penalized  for opening during our day of snow last year. Pupil attendance on that day was very low and this has had an impact on our overall attendance which wouldn't have happened had we closed for a snow day.

  

• Cycle to School Week

  Sun 15 Sep 2019 Croesty Primary School

  As part of this Year's Active Travel Programme we'll be having a cycle to school week between 23rd and 27th September when we'll be encouraging all of our children to have an active journey to school and we'll be submitting our number of cyclists for a National Sustrans Data Collection. If you're cycling please remember to wear your helmet to keep you safe.

  We've already made a fantastic start this year with fifteen children achieving the National Cycle Safety Award to at least Level 1.

  Well done children!
