Hwyl Fawr!

Dear Parent/Carer,

Please find attached my final letter as Headteacher.

Diolch yn fawr,

Mr Morgan

What an emotional yet truly wonderful day we have shared as we celebrated Mr Morgan’s final day with us.  It has been an honour and a pleasure to work under his leadership. He has been an exceptional Headteacher, an inspiring leader, and a true friend to everyone at Bedlinog Community Primary School. The school is in such a strong and vibrant place because of Mr Morgan’s vision, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our children and community. We will miss him enormously, but we are so proud of him as he begins his new role as Director of Education for Merthyr Tydfil. If he brings even a fraction of the passion and care he has shown here, the children and families of Merthyr will be in very safe hands. Mr Morgan was genuinely thrilled with the beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts he received. A heartfelt thank you to the Foxes family–school partnership for their special presents, and to every family who kindly donated towards his gifts. Thanks to your generosity, he received a Nomination charm, a stunning pen set and stationery, a personalised name plate for his new desk, some treats, and a voucher for a well‑deserved meal out. We wish Mr Morgan every success and happiness in his new chapter. Good luck from all of us — you will always be part of the Bedlinog family. Diolch and Hwyl fawr!

NEW HEADTEACHER FOR BEDLINOG COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the completion of the Governing Body’s appointment process, I am pleased to confirm that Mr Sam Prosser has been appointed as the new permanent Executive Headteacher of Trelewis and Bedlinog Primary Schools. Mr Prosser will take over the role permanently as of Friday this week. 

As the current Deputy Headteacher at Trelewis Primary, Mr Prosser has been a significant part of the journey of both schools and is well known to pupils, staff and the wider school communities. His commitment, leadership and understanding of our schools place him in an excellent position to lead them forward.

Mr Prosser will be taking on the leadership of two fantastic schools, and I am confident that, with your continued support, he will guide both Trelewis and Bedlinog into the next chapter of their development.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Mr Morgan

The school photographer will be visiting to take special graduation photos for Nursery pupils and leavers photos for Year 6. Nursery children will have the chance to celebrate their milestone moment in their graduation gowns, while Year 6 pupils will capture a memorable keepsake as they prepare for their next chapter. The session will be relaxed and friendly, helping pupils feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. These photographs will provide families with a lasting reminder of an important stage in their child’s school journey.

Pupils will take part in an exciting cluster netball competition where pupils will have the chance to showcase their developing skills. They will work together in teams, practise accurate passing and shooting, and demonstrate great teamwork as they play against other schools. The event will encourage confidence, resilience, and sportsmanship, giving pupils a fantastic opportunity to experience competitive netball in a supportive environment. It will be a lively and memorable afternoon for everyone involved.

Pupils will take part in an exciting D. Glas session led by Tilbury Douglas Contractors, giving them the chance to learn about construction, engineering, and the skills involved in creating safe, sustainable buildings. During the session, pupils will explore real‑world examples, handle age‑appropriate materials, and take part in interactive activities that will help them understand how construction projects take shape. The team will talk about different roles within the industry and inspire pupils to think about future pathways linked to STEM. It will be a hands‑on, informative experience that brings learning to life and strengthens pupils’ understanding of the world of work

Pupils will take part in a lively sponsored fun run, arriving in their favourite fancy‑dress outfits to make the event even more colourful and exciting. They will run, jog, or walk around the course while cheering each other on and enjoying the playful atmosphere. The event will promote fitness, teamwork, and school spirit, all while raising funds for a great cause. It will be a joyful, high‑energy day that pupils will remember long after the finish line.

From the 18th of May, pupils will take part in an inspiring World of Work Week that will introduce them to a wide range of jobs and career pathways. Throughout the week, they will meet visitors from different professions, take part in hands‑on activities, and explore the skills needed in various workplaces. The sessions will spark curiosity, broaden aspirations, and help pupils understand how their learning links to real‑world opportunities. It will be an exciting and motivating week that encourages pupils to imagine their own future possibilities.
