• Non-School Uniform Day to Raise Funds for Pontypridd Flood Appeal

  Wed 27 Nov 2024

  We are raising money for the Pontypridd Flood Appeal and are allowing Pupils to wear Non-School Uniform this Friday 29th November in return for a £1 donation.

  Members of the Pontyclun Community have then agreed to match fund whatever amount we raise in school.

  This will then be forwarded to the local appeal fund.

  Thank you for your help

• REMINDER - Important information regarding School Essentials Grant & UPFSM school meal provision - Please read

  Tue 05 Nov 2024

  Following the successful roll-out of UPFSM, all pupils from Reception through to and including Year 6 as well as eligible Nursery pupils are entitled to a free school meal under this scheme.

  • Eligible Nursery pupils are those who attend local authority* Nursery provision on a full-time basis (morning and afternoon sessions) in accordance with the Councils admissions policy

  Primary school meals are £2.85 a day and payable weekly in advance (only applicable to Nursery pupils not yet eligible for Universal Primary Free School Meals)

  Please can we remind all parents/carers, that if their child does not receive Free School Meals even if their child(ren) receive a Universal Primary Free School Meal (currently being rolled out ) and they think they may be entitled, to complete the online application form on the Council’s website (Free School meals - Apply for free school meals | Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (rctcbc.gov.uk). Only by making a successful application for Free School Meals will they be eligible to automatically receive other support for their child(ren) for example a possible entitlement to a Schools Essential Grant for items such as uniform, kit and stationery.

  All schools across Wales will then be entitled to additional funding to provide education and support these children. If eligible families don’t apply for a free school meal through the council it will affect the amount of funding from Welsh Government that the schools receive, meaning the school has less money than it is entitled to in order to provide education and support to your children.

  Thank you
