Welcome to the Autumn Term 2021 at Croesty Primary School
Thu 02 Sep 2021Information for Parents and Children
We are looking forward to welcoming all the children back with us on Monday 6th September when our Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 classes reopen. Our Nursery children will begin to start with us from Monday 13th September.
For the first week back, our times and organisation for the beginning and end of the day have not changed. At the end of the day it is busy and quite crowded on our yards – as soon as you’ve collected everyone please don’t hang about and leave as quickly as you can. We would still encourage all visitors and adults to wear face masks whilst on the school grounds as it can be quite crowded at pick up times.
Here are the times again as a reminder:
Arrivals
08:45 Year 1 and Year 2 via the Nursery Gate
08:45 Years 3 & 4 via the Coychurch Road Gate / Years 5 & 6 via the Main Gate
09:00 Reception & Nursery via the Nursery Gate
Gates for Entry:
Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 via the Nursery Gate
Years 3 & 4 via the Coychurch Road Gate
Years 5 & 6 via the Main Gate
Departures
15:00 Full Time Nursery – Collect & Leave via the Nursery Gate
15:00 Reception – Enter via the Main Gate and leave through the Nursery Gate
15:00 Years 1 & 2 – Enter via the Main Gate and Leave through the Back Gate
15:15 Years 3 & 4 – Enter and leave via the Coychurch Road Gate
15:15 Years 5 & 6 – Enter via the Main Gate and leave through the Back Gate
During the first week, when it will be easier to make contact you, we will start to send out information about the changes we will need to make to bring the operation of the school back to how it was before the first lockdown in January 2020.
We anticipate being able to start our breakfast club from Monday 13th September for children in our Reception to Year 6 classes.

Additional Car Parking at Pencoed Swimming Pool
Thu 15 Apr 2021The Pencoed Swimming Pool car park will be open from Monday to provide additional parking at the beginning and end of the school day. We hope this might help reduce congestion on Coychurch Road. There is a good safe footpath/cycle path from this car park to our school past the play park.
This car park will be open from 8am to 4pm every week day.
Please be aware that cars left after 4pm will be locked in.
We are very grateful to Halo Leisure who have kindly allowed us to use their car parking facility.

National Day of Reflection Tuesday 23rd March 2021
Mon 22 Mar 2021Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the UKs first lockdown because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It will also be a Marie Curie National Day of Reflection and this is a charity that has been very much supported by Croesty Primary School in the past and particularly by a former Chair of Governors Cllr. Ken King. Today the charity looks after people who are very unwell and who unfortunately will not get better.
The Charity is named after Marie Curie the Polish scientist who was a trail blazer in the study of radio activity. Marie Curie became the first woman professor of Paris University and from the very beginning she could see through her science investigations that her discoveries could be used to help others.
Today we see how her work has impacted on modern medical science as we use radio activity in X-rays and to control and destroy cancers.
The symbol of the Marie Curie Charity is the daffodil – and you’ll see plenty of these on our school grounds at the moment. You’ll also notice them around a plaque and growing under a tree at the front of our building. The plaque commemorates the fund raising efforts of Cllr King and Croesty Primary School for Marie Curie and the tree was planted by Cllr King and the children in 1995.

Mrs Susan Taylor
Mon 22 Mar 2021We received some very sad news this weekend with the death of Mrs Sue Taylor. Sue was one of the longest serving memebrs of staff here at Croesty Primary School. Starting as a lunchtime supervisor in March 1977, Sue stayed with the role right up until July 2011. Over thirty four years Sue helped to look after thousands of children here at Croesty. So many who will now be adults will have some very fond memories of Sue and their lunchtime plays because of her work and that of others in her team. Sue loved working with the children and was always full of fun and enthusiasm. Our thoughts are with Sue's family and friends - she will be greatly missed.
