1 x teaching assistant employed for 1 term to provide support for PDG pupils in years 5 and 6. Additional enrichment and information activities have been supplied by the school. We believe strongly that all children deserve the best start in life the PDG grant helps us – achieve this aim. Building links between the community and school As one of the largest schools in the area, we are an integral part of the community. We make regular use of the resources available to us with regular trips to the National Library, Museum, Arts Centre and Leisure Centre. We also utilise the town beaches and Plascrug Avenue. We have been fortunate in having support from the University too, with lecturers visiting to give talks on Space during one of our whole school Pioneer weeks. We work closely with many outside agencies, such as the local police, school nurses, Design to Smile dental programme to name only a few. The police dog handling unit brought down two of their dogs. The children enjoyed this immensely and it was great to see them so interested in the talk and watching the dogs display their skills. Tesco have also supported the school, in supplying fresh fruit and also inviting the children to their ‘Farm to Fork’ events. A fabulous way of enforcing our healthy eating policy. Clwb Ni, our inter-generational project between Year 6 and tenants of TAI Ceredigion sheltered housing continues to provide opportunities for both generations to learn together. This year they attended a pottery workshop in Borth which focused on life experiences. Parent Teacher Association I would like to thank all of the parents and teachers who have organised and supported fund raising events at the school such as the Summer Fair and the Strictly Come Dancing Extravaganza on Children in Need day. These are only so successful because of the time and effort given and the fact that they are so well attended. The Strictly Come Dancing evening raised £4000, which was shared between the school and Children in Need. This has enabled the school to purchase a large CleverTouch screen for the main hall.
