Non-Live Results
In a whole school assembly, the results of all of the non-live entries for Eisteddfod 2025 were announced. This is when the children are challenged to use their skills across the national curriculum subjects to create projects based on the theme for the year - for 2025 this is Blast from the Past! It was great to see so many children - boys and girls from across all year groups - being recognised for the incredible efforts they've clearly gone to in creating some of the work being submitted. Well done everyone!

Over the past couple of weeks, all of the children have been getting involved in Eisteddfod 2024. They have demonstrated their skills with lovely non-live homework, as well as showing their resilience when auditioning for live events. Children have been able to link all their work to our theme of the Olympics in very creative ways. We are looking forward to watching all this amazing talent next Friday and welcoming parents to attend our showcase on Wednesday 10th July.
