School Wellbeing Project
Mon 22 Jan 2024We have been fortunate to be included in a wellbeing project which helps to develop effective emotional health education in schools. This is linked with SHINE, which is part of the CAMHS service. A member of their staff will be working with the pupils, up to the Easter holidays, beginning with yr 6 tomorrow. Topics are covered from a general stand point, and include regulating emotions, resilience, anxiety, using age appropriate language
There will also be an opportunity for parents to come in to school (date to be confirmed), 3.45 to 4.45 to discuss issues facing young people today. There will be an opportunity to speak with the staff confidentially, for anyone who is seeking further advice and support.
Many thanks

Consultation on the Council's Home to School Transport Policy
Mon 22 Jan 2024The Council recently agreed to carry out a consultation to review its current Home to School Transport provision for children and young people in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The proposal sets out a new Home to School Transport Policy, which maintains certain discretionary transport provision and provide mainstream English, Welsh and Faith primary school, secondary school and college transport in line with relevant statutory distance criteria. Any new policy would be implemented from the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.
The consultation originally ran from 27th November 2023 until 5pm 8th January 2024.
The Council recognises the significance of the proposal for pupils who use and will use home to school transport now or in the future, and the extended consultation provides a further opportunity for those potentially impacted to take part in the consultation. The Council has therefore taken the decision to extend the consultation for a further three week period running from Thursday 18th January 2024 until 5pm Thursday 8th February 2024.
The details of the proposal and the opportunity to respond to the consultation can be found at: Consultation on the Council's Home to School Transport Policy | Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (rctcbc.gov.uk)
There is no need for anyone who has previously taken part in this consultation to submit a further response unless they wish to do so.Kind regards
Stephen Williams
Director for Highways, Streetcare and Transportation Services
