🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ NGP Cluster Cross Country at the Elba 🌟

We wish all our Year 5 and Year 6 runners the very best of luck as they compete in Round 1 of this exciting event this afternoon! We are incredibly proud to be the organisers and extend a huge thank you to Mrs Percival, Mrs C Davies, and Mrs Thomas for their hard work in planning and delivering all the training sessions. 🙌 A big shout-out to our amazing parents for their continued support – we couldn’t do it without you! 💙

🚗 Important Parking Notice

South Wales Police and the Gower Neighbourhood Policing Team have raised concerns about dangerous and inconsiderate parking outside Penclawdd School. Please do not stop, park, or drop off on the yellow zig-zag ‘School KEEP CLEAR’ lines and avoid blocking driveways or using the bus stop. These restrictions are in place to keep children safe.

While most parents park responsibly, a small minority continue to put safety at risk. Police and Local Authority officers will enforce a zero-tolerance policy, and offenders may receive a Fixed Penalty Notice.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our children safe.

Fundraising

 

Our School Lottery - click here to support us 

Welcome to Penclawdd Primary School lottery. We have raised an amazing £530.80 so far this year which helped us by some new chairs for our Nursery class - the children love them. We also bought a new painting easel for Y3/4 - it`s fab!  

Labels for uniform

We have previously sent out some information regarding putting labels on your child's uniform. This would greatly assist us in sorting out lost items of clothing.  We recommend STIKINS as they produce labels which you simply stick onto clothing.  (no sewing or ironing is needed!). Details are as follows: website for Stikins.   Please quote reference 15618 to support our school.
