Children are not permitted to walk home independently after a club. The permission for Year 5 and 6 pupils to walk home from school (with prior consent) only applies at the end of the normal school day, at 3.15pm. At this time of year, it gets dark very quickly. A number of parents have contacted school to say that they have not received the link here for the Year 3 and 4 clubs on a Thursday afterschool. This is a great annual fundraising activity by the Parent and Teacher Association – thank you for your support. • Glanllyn Christmas Fun • 18/11/25 School Dinner • Newsletter 14/11/25 • Attendance Update 14/11/25 • Pupils use of the internet • Children in Need • Year 4 - GUIDE UK Pilot Study • Cylch Meithrin Christmas Fair • Newsletter 7/11/25 • Year 5 and 6 Letter to Parents • Myddelton College Table Tennis Club • Urdd Netball Year 1-3 • Newsletter 24/10/25 • Clubs Timetable • Newsletter 23/10/25 • Cross Country Newtown • Parents Evenings November 2025 • Newsletter 17/10/25 • Newsletter 9/10/25 • Urdd - Football Yr. 3-6 • Urdd - Netball Yr. 4-6 • Urdd - Netball - Reception, Yr. 1, 2 a 3 • Governors Report 2024/25 • Newsletter 3/10/25 • 26/09/25 Newsletter • Newsletter 19/9/25 • Letter - Head Lice • Head Lice fact sheet • Minor Ailments Service • Letter from Mr Geraint Davies, Head of Education for Denbighshire County Council • Newsletter 5/9/25 • Welcome to Under 5’s unit • Welcome to Year 5 and 6 • Welcome to Year 3 and 4 • Joining the Urdd • Important Dates 2025/26 • Newsletter 3/9/2025 • If you would like your child to walk home at the end of the day we must receive permission via the Forms link here.
