Governors and Staff have a clear vision that requires all stake holders to expect high standards that impact positively on learning and outcomes for all pupils. We are grateful for your continued support and coopera- tion in maintaining high standards of uniform, punctuality and attendance.

Pupils wearing inappropri- ate or unacceptable items of clothing will be removed from lessons. If you require support in sourcing correct uniform please contact Mrs C Kynaston. Please be reminded that mobile phones are prohibited and pupils are welcome to use the school phones should they need to contact home.

One of the most ethnically diverse of Cardiff's suburbs, with a significant Asian population such as Pakistanis and Indians, Canton has a population just in excess of 13,000. Canton, Cardiff 2 The name (from "St. Canna's Town") refers to the 6th century female saint after whom Pontcanna is also named. Canton, also known as Treganna (tref town + Saint Canna), was a 13th century manor in Llandaff. It became part of Victorian era Cardiff in 1875 [1] . History Middle Ages Canton, or Treganna in the Welsh language, was formed around a 13th century Manor in Cardiff and assumed lands from nearby Llandaff and Leckwith parishes under the stewardship of an Earl (or Baron) de Kanetune, although today the manor comes under the jurisdiction of the Manor of Llandaff. It is believed that Canton is named after St Canna, the holy matron in the Celtic age of Saints, and Canna herself is reputed to have been a relative of King Arthur In 1215 a parishioner called Lucia de Kanetune is recorded as occupying a field ‘near the Earl's wall’.

  • A Note from the Deputy Head of School Top Stories MAGICAL DAY CELEBRATES MONMOUTH's PROUD ROWING HISTORY
    Summer term: Week 1 News 26th April 2019 A note from the Deputy Head of School After a restful and productive break, it is good to see everyone back and launching themselves into this final busy term of the year. With exams approaching fast, I hope everyone is feeling relaxed and prepared. International representation in both hockey and rowing has been the order of the day and my congratulations go to all involved. It is fitting for such prestige to come to the rowing club in its 150th year of existence. Con- gratulations also must go to the quiz team and it seems the Young Enterprise scheme promises another suc- cessful year! I wish you all the best for the upcoming term! Written by Deputy Head of School, Adam Top stories MAGICAL DAY CELEBRATES MONMOUTH’S PROUD ROWING HISTORY The rich history of rowing at Monmouth School for Boys was celebrated with two special events at the beginning of April. A wonderful gala dinner for almost 200 guests marked the club’s 150th anniversary year and a boat named after John Hartland, a legendary rowing coach at the school and for Welsh rowing, had been christened on the banks of the River Wye in Monmouth earlier that afternoon. Mr John Griffiths, Master in Charge of Rowing, described the events as ‘sensational’ and said it had been a ‘very special day’ in the history of the club. The day began with the naming of the new John W Hartland boat to honour Monmouth sporting legend John Hartland who inspired hundreds of rowers over 50 years on the River Wye and across Wales.

Response to Questions 1. Successful examples of and considerations for community sport and school partnerships / for multi-activity delivery within community sport While there will be many more examples of best practice across England at an individual organisation and regional level, I would like to draw the Committee’s attention to a successful project led by Sport Wales as a case study for how the above can be facilitated and local provision enhanced within school physical education and community sport. Sport Wales: Physical Literacy Consultancy Review Introduction and background “Physical literacy can be described as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.” International Physical Literacy Association (IPLA, 2017) Sport Wales has been working with the concept of physical literacy since 2008, when an opportunity to work with the Department for Education and Skills in Welsh Government arose as the new Foundation Phase in Wales was developed. Over a three year period, partners developed Play to Learn, a set of resources that could be used to support children to become physically literate across the curriculum.
