Newsletters – 2024/25: • The way that musical instrument lessons are organised and delivered is changing from September 2025. If you would like to book lessons for your child, please see the flyer attached. Those currently receiving lessons will also need to book in too. • As always, we have an 'open door’ approach here. Please do contact your child's class teacher or myself if you have any school-based concerns or worries directly. We will always work hard to support and rectify as necessary along with yourselves. • Intensive Swimming - Summer 2025 • Non Uniform Days • Summer Fayre Poster • North Wales Police - using child safety seats in vehicles • Year 3 and 4 Library Letter • Newsletter May 2025 • Sports Day 2025 • Craft Event • Kickit Sports - Halfterm 2025 • Conwy School Football Association - Trials Information • Conwy School Football Association - Kit Design Competition • Statutory Notice - amalgamation of Ysgol y Fforyd and Maes Owen • Newsletter and Important Dates April 2025 • PTFA Spring Newsletter • Easter Week Activities FFIT Conwy • Ysgol Maes Owen will be hosting their very first Careers Fair for pupils on Friday May 2nd. We are hoping to have two sessions, the first from 9.30 – 10.30am and another from 1.30 – 2.30pm. We would be delighted if you would agree to attend one or both sessions to provide pupils with information about your work. Pupils will come prepared with questions to ask you including; why you chose this job, what your job involves, your responsibilities and about your career path. The purpose of this event is to inspire and inform our children on the range of different job sectors and the jobs they know nothing about. They hopefully will have the chance to hear from employers learning about what they are looking for from young people and how that relates to teacher's expectations of them, adding relevance to curriculum work by giving it a real-life context. The event will be held in our school hall. Each contributor will be given a table, with room for any resources or props that they may wish to share. On the day, teaching assistants will be on hand to help contributors to set up their table. If you would be prepared to support us with this event, and /or would like more information, please contact Miss Pye: pyet@hwbcymru.net at Maes Owen by April 7th. • Easter Egg Bingo! • Comic Relief 2025 Letter • Red Nose Day Sponsorship Form • Red Nose Day Poster • Please find information attached regarding our Spring parent/Guardian Evenings.

As part of the consultation we will be gathering the views of parents of pupils, staff and governors of both schools and other interested parties. Please find enclosed a copy consultation document, which provides some useful information on the proposed amalgamation. The consultation period runs from 21st October to 2nd December 2024. The outcome of the consultation will enable the Council to decide whether or not to proceed with the proposal to amalgamate the schools. Should the Council decide to do so, then there is a statutory 28-day objection period during which time objections to the proposal may be made in writing. Whether or not objections are received within the statutory period, the proposal will be determined by the Authority at the end of the 28-day objection period. Your views on this proposal are welcomed. • Kinmel Consultation Letter CBC • Consultation on the Proposed Amalgamation of Ysgol y Foryd and Ysgol Maes Owen • Kinmel Bay Consultation Feedback Form • Amalgamation letter to parents Y Foryd and Maes Owen • Kinmel Bay Amalgamation FAQ Document • We are doing something a little different with our Harvest collections this year, as explained in the flyer attached.
