The reports circulating facebook about a girl having been abducted from Gelli Primary School today are untrue.

Attempted child abduction

Unfortunately, I have had another case of an attempted child abduction reported to me this morning. This one involves three Primary aged pupils, who were asked by 2 men in a car if they wanted a lift home, and were questioned when they refused. The incident occurred yesterday afternoon at 4.30pm, in the shopping area of Talbot Green (near Barclays Bank). The car involved was silver in colour, with tinted windows, and it had a roof rack.

The police have been informed, and the girls involved have given fairly clear descriptions of the two men involved. It is also hoped that CCTV in the area may help to identify the car. Can you assist by relaying the message to your children to be vigilant? If you see any suspicious cars in the vicinity of our school please inform me. Thanks.

Year Four Assembly

Year Four performed a wonderful assembly on Friday which celebrated Mothering Sunday. For those of you who were unable to join is make sure that you have a big box of tissues near to hand.

Well done Dosbarth 6 and Mrs Johnson and Miss Brown. You certainly made our mothers feel special on this day. Llongyfarchiadau.

School is closed Friday 17th December 2010

Gelli Primary School is closed Friday 17th December 2010. The school grounds are under several inches of snow and conditions are forecast to deteriorate during the day making travel difficult. I have taken the decision to close on these criteria.
