Training has included Governor induction, Child Protection, Understanding school data. BILINGUALISM Bilingualism is the ability to live part of your daily life in two languages. Welsh and English provision exists side by side at Sennybridge Primary School, which is a category 2 – dual stream school. In the Welsh stream, pupils are taught solely through the medium of Welsh in Foundation Phase (up to the age of 7). Welsh continues to be the main teaching medium at Key Stage 2 (ages 7 to 11), and English is introduced as a subject. In the English Stream, all pupils are taught Welsh as a second language and assessed at the end of Key Stage 2. The use of incidental Welsh is encouraged across the curriculum and throughout the school day. Useful contacts: WAG - a Welsh Government website to encourage parents and prospective parents to raise their children bilingually. http://cymraeg.llyw.cymru/learning/ The school has close transition links with Sennybridge Nursery- Meithrinfa Pontsenni which is held on site in the annexe at Sennybridge Primary School on Monday - Fridays. The nursery supports both English and Welsh medium education. ATTENDANCE Attendance figures for 2017 / 2018 = 96.2%. Attendance averages for each term were: Autumn 2017 Spring 2018 Summer 2018 Attendance 96.7% 94.9% 96.6% Authorised absence 3.0% 4.7% 2.4% Unauthorised (including absence in 0.3% 0.4% 1.0% term time for holidays) The school monitors attendance and punctuality on a regular basis. Absence from school is a contributing factor in low pupil achievement, so Welsh Government continues to target attendance. Parents are encouraged to take holidays when school is closed or these days may be recorded as unauthorised absences. Our Attendance target for 2017/18 is 96.4% and we thank you in advance for your support in the challenge to meet this target. SCHOOL VISITS / VISITORS Transition visits.. Some of our visitors..

    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 26 April 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 27th March. From Monday 26th April: • Organised outdoor activities for adults can now take place with up to 30 people. • As of 24th April the six people from two households’ rule was abolished and replaced with six people from any number of households (not including children under 11 years of age or carers) can meet outdoors. • Clubhouses are permitted to serve food and beverage to customers outdoors in accordance with Welsh government COVID guidance for restaurants and bars, ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits. KEY POINTS: • Groups of up to 30 adults will be permitted to take part in outdoor organised cricket activities. • Group size limits do not apply to children under the age of 18 (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020) for activity arranged by a responsible body (e.g.

    8.0 Biodiversity in and Around Sennybridge & Defynnog

    8.0 Biodiversity in and around Sennybridge & Defynnog 8.1 Overview 8.1.1 The River Usk is a dominant feature along the north-western boundary of Sennybridge and the Afon Senni flows from the south through Defynnog and into the Usk towards the middle of the town. There is almost continuous tree cover along the river corridors providing valuable cover and habitat for bats, birds and species such as otter. The disused railway corridor also provides a woodland corridor through the settlement. The surrounding land is predominantly pasture, much of it improved grassland, but there is a surprising amount of semi-improved grassland with a variety of flower and grass species present, for example the football field between Defynnog and Sennybridge. The ancient yew tree in Defynnog churchyard is also a valuable historical and biodiversity feature.

    River Usk at Dan-y-Parc An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – August 2012 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on a 1.5-mile stretch of the River Usk between Crickhowell and Abergavenny. The river is controlled and managed by the Aberlous Fishing Syndicate, and is known as the Dan-y-Parc fishery. The request for the visit was made by Mr. Robert Melvin, who is Secretary of the syndicate and one of the landowners. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. Melvin. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream boundary Grid ref SO 222 176 Downstream boundary Grid ref SO 233 159 2 2. Catchment overview The River Usk rises on the northern slopes of the Black Mountain of mid-Wales, in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Initially the river flows north, discharging into Usk Reservoir, then east to Sennybridge and on to Brecon before swinging southeast to flow through Talybont-on-Usk, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. From here the river heads due south to Usk before flowing through the city of Newport and on into the Severn estuary at Uskmouth. In terms of the Water Framework Directive, the Dan-y-Parc reach in within waterbody ID GB109056040082, which is currently in ‘moderate’ status with a target of achieving ‘good’ status by 2015.

    UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES from 27Th March 2021

    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 27 March 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 13th March. From Saturday 27 March: • You can use outdoor cricket nets with members of your household or support bubble, or with people from one other household, as long as the total number of people engaging in cricket activity is no more than 6 (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either of those households as they do not count towards the group size limit). • One to one coaching can resume. The coach counts as one household meaning that the other participants (up to 3) must be from the same household as each other (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either households). • Social distancing rules must be observed. • Clubs should refer to Part 2 for guidance on the preparation of their ground and safe installation of nets. • The end of stay local guidance, meaning that you can travel to play permitted outdoor cricket anywhere in Wales. For under 18s (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020), this means organised outdoor cricket activity can take place anywhere in Wales. ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits.
