Message from schools community police
Fri 30 Oct 2020SWYDDOGOL OFFICIAL
Good Morning All,
This Official message is for circulation to parents regarding the Halloween / Bonfire season
It re-iterates the police stance on social gatherings after the Welsh Assembly Government announced a Firebreak lockdown for Wales.
For Halloween
- We ask everyone to think how they can keep everyone safe this Halloween and not spread Coronavirus.
- Traditional trick or treating is not allowed.
- Halloween parties in either your home or at another venue are not allowed.
- Do not to meet anyone indoors that you don’t live with and do not meet up with your friends either indoors or outdoors.
- Celebrate at home instead of going out and about.
For Bonfire Night
- There will be no organised public bonfires or firework displays this year.
- No visitors are allowed into your garden. If a firework display in your garden turns into a party at your house, you are putting everyone at risk of catching the Coronavirus. The adults who look after you will be breaking the law.
- REMEMBER it is illegal to buy Fireworks under the age of 18 - your parents/carers could be prosecuted.
- You shouldn’t set off fireworks in a park or other public open space. All local authorities in Wales have banned this.
- Setting off fireworks in the street is anti-social. It can be a fire risk and is against the law.
We kindly ask people to act responsibly and to keep each other safe. Staying safe and not adding extra pressure to the emergency services will be important.
In addition to the above the School Community Police Officer team have created two vlogs to support the above messaging. These vlogs are suitable for use in educational establishments. Please follow the link below to view;

Return to school Information
Fri 30 Oct 2020Dear Parent/carer
COLLECTION AT END OF DAY
We have looked again at staggered times for collection to reduce the contact that parent/carers have when collecting children. As we have many families with children across age ranges it is very difficult to stagger times without expecting parent/carers to stand and wait for children. This increases the contact at collection time, rather than reduces it.
However to make it a little less busy, the main gates to school will be opened at 3.20pm daily. If you are collecting an Infant child ONLY please collect at the earlier time.
If you are collecting a number of children arrive at normal time.
Staff in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children only will ensure children are ready for collection at 3.20. This should reduce the numbers coming through the gate at the same time. Please also use the one way system at the gate path - Keep to the left of the barriers.
RUNNING TRACK
We are expecting work on the running track to begin after the half term holidays. The team will only be on the field and not be accessing the main school building. There will be a mesh fence to cordon off the field from the playground but please be mindful if you have younger children with you at the end of the day. All the work is weather dependent and after such a 'soggy' half term it may be delayed. It should take a few weeks but again it is weather dependent so fingers crossed we can get it completed sooner rather than later.
Many Thanks for your ongoing cooperation
Regards
Ms Jenkins

Press release from Powys
Thu 29 Oct 2020Coronavirus is still circulating in Powys
With some pupils returning to school next week Powys parents are being urged to be on their guard for Coronavirus and keep unwell children at home.
All Powys pupils were due to return to school on Monday (November 2) after a two-week half-term break, but the introduction of Welsh Government’s national Firebreak restrictions mean that some will continue to study at home.
Primary and special schools will reopen as normal with secondary school years seven, eight and vulnerable children returning. Pupils will be able to attend schools for exams, but pupils in Years 9 and above will have to continue their learning from home for a week.
Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor Phyl Davies said: “With some pupils able to return to school it is vital that we do all that we can to prevent the spread of the virus. I urge families to help and ensure that those who are unwell and show any symptoms stay at home and follow medical advice. We need to do all that we can to prevent a further rise in coronavirus cases. “
“It is important for all of us to remember that Coronavirus is still a very real threat to public health and the best way to stop the chain of infection is to come into contact with fewer people. This is particularly important with the Welsh Government’s national Firebreak restrictions continuing until 9 November.”
The main symptoms of coronavirus are:
- a high temperature: this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough: this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste: this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.
Most people with coronavirus have at least one of these symptoms.
If you have any symptoms, ensure that you and your immediate household self-isolate immediately. Visit https://gov.wales/apply-coronavirus-covid-19-test or call 119 to book a test.
We can all help to reduce the spread of coronavirus:
- Stay at home
- Wash your hands regularly.
- Keep a social distance from others.
- Do not meet anyone you do not live with
- Wear a face covering in shops, in indoor public spaces and on public transport unless there is a reasonable excuse not to do so
- Work from home if you can.
“We all share a personal responsibility to controlling the spread of the virus. The situation can change very quickly. By following Welsh Government guidance, we can help keep Powys safe.”
Our Test Trace Protect team here in Powys is working tirelessly to ensure that positive cases are contact traced, and that symptomatic contacts are offered testing. If you are identified as a confirmed contact, our Powys contact tracing team will call you from 02921 961133.
If you are called by a contact tracer, please help them in their vital work to Keep Powys Safe.
