School Council hold meeting in the Welsh Government Senedd Building

The School Council visited the Senedd in Cardiff Bay to hold a meeting in Siambr Hywel and to look at where the Assembly Members make decisions about things that happen in Welsh life. Here is a video diary about what happened during the day.

Thank you and a Happy Christmas to all at Gelli Primary School

May I on behalf of the governing body and staff offer our thanks for the cards and presents that we are given by the children each Christmas. We really appreciate the effort made to thank us each year. We hope that everyone will enjoy a peaceful Christmas and that Santa brings everything on your lists. As usual, the pupils have created a wonderful athmosphere in school and the concerts and other end of term activities have put us all in the festive spirit.

Please also join us in offering our prayers and condolences to the Davies family during this difficult time for them.

Over the next few days I will be updating the blog with videos of the Grandparents Concert and other activities that have been taking place during this busy term. I have a new piece of software that will allow us to transfer these to our blogs more effectively.

I will also use the text to parents service to remind parents of arrangements for returning to school in the new year.

A new member of the team

I am very pleased to announce that the Governing body appointed Mrs Joanna Taylor to succeed Mr Christopher Jones as Learning mentor for Additional Learning Needs today. Mrs Taylor is currently ALN Co at St Michael's Primary School in Newport and will take up the appointment in the summer term. She is an experienced teacher and her current school was praised in a recent ESTYN inspection this summer. She has recently moved back to the Pontypridd area but has relatives in the Treherbet area so we are really welcoming one of our own home. I am sure that Mrs Taylor will be missed when she leaves her current school and we look forward to her joining us after Easter.
