• Visit to the Royal Mint Llantrisant

  Wed 24 Oct 2018 Mrs Cox-Wall

  All our pupils (except KS2) today had the opportunity to visit the Royal Mint at Llantrisant. This is part of our exploration of Welsh Culture and heritage and there was certainly a lot to see, interact with and learn about money, coins, commemorative coins and history.

  Pupils had lunch there also, enjoying the opportunity to relax and socialise outside of school.

  

• Christmas Shoe Box Appeal

  Fri 19 Oct 2018 Mrs Cox-Wall

  Again this year, Mrs Morriss is coordinating our Shoe Box Appeal donations. If you have a spare shoe box and/or any items suitable for a primary age pupil, used and in good condition or new, not requiring batteries, please send this in by next Friday (26th).

  Today, pupils raised funds to sponsor each box as there is a postage charge. The tasty bacon rolls were a huge success and there are demands for this every week now!

  Excellent work #enterprisingandcreative

  

• The Bridge Alternative Provision Credit Union

  Wed 10 Oct 2018 Mrs Cox-Wall

  As pupils grow up into ethical, informed, enterprising and creative young people, we want to encourage them to be financially responsible and make well thought out decisions about spending and saving.

  Bridgend Lifesavers Credit Union work with 7 other schools in Bridgend and we have made that 8 today with the launch of the Bridge Alternative Provision Credit Union branch. The Bridgend Lifesaver Credit Union is a not for profit cooperative that provides low cost financial services to the whole community. Financial wellbeing is incredibly important in communities and the scheme encourages the development of responsibile financial behaviour.

  Almost all staff and several pupils have joined CU today and started saving, new members get a paying in book and piggy bank to encourage saving and of course you can pay in as little or as much as you like! Pupils who save are also rewarded with acheivement points on SIMs.

  This is also part of our work with families and our Investors in Families award. Thankyou Mrs Thomas and Damian from Lifesavers.
