Christmas Events
30th November 2015
Dear Parent / Carer
CHRISTMAS !!
With only 3 weeks left in school until the Christmas, I would like to update you all with a number of events.
Rugby and Netball
Due to the dark evenings, netball has now finished and will resume after the Christmas break.
As we have the Christmas Fayre on Thursday this week and the Christmas celebrations the week after, the rugby training will also now finish until after the Christmas break. We will let you know when these start back.
Tuesday 1st December - Hazel, Holly and Sycamore classes to Cardiff Castle – Victorian Christmas
Nursery and Reception visit from ‘Birds of Prey’.
Thursday 3rd December - Christmas Fayre - The Fund Raising Committee’s Annual Christmas Fayre is this Thursday, 3rd December. The Fayre will be open straight after school, with a visit from a special person dressed in red (!) and with many lovely things for you to buy. All monies raised support the Fundraising Committee who work to support the school with classroom resources as well as IT equipment and lights/speakers for school performances. To support this as a school, we will hold a non-uniform day on Thursday 3rd December, where we ask the children to bring in a bar of chocolate so that the PTA can run their ever popular chocolate tombola at the Christmas Fayre.
Friday 4th December – Choir singing in Pontypridd - Please support our choir – they will be singing their hearts out around the Christmas tree in Pontypridd from 11.00-12.00 (outside NatWest Bank)

The school wants to ensure this is a thorough document that is fit for purpose. As a result, I propose the following for upcoming events, until the policy is finalised:
- The school will record the event and make this available to families
- that families be allowed to take photos/videos during the concerts and that these images are for your personal use only
- any families recording the performances remain considerate to others not to block their view etc. and find an unobtrusive space in the hall / chapel.
- NO IMAGES TO BE SHARED ONLINE unless of your own child, alone – not including other children whose families may not wish their images shared.
- The school may share a small number of images on their website/blog/twitter account – but at all times pupils will not be named and only those images of pupils who have parental permission will be used.
- If any concerns are raised with the school, the Head Teacher will assess them and make the final decision on whether families will be allowed to record the event
- Any family who has a concern with regard to their child being included in images/video of the performance, we ask that you contact the school by Friday 4th December at the latest
