The guidance regarding when you need to self-isolate has recently changed. Further to the Welsh Government announcement last week, if there is a positive case within your household, you should not send your child to school until they have had a negative PCR test. This does not apply to children under 5 years old. Please refer to the chart below for more information.  Please see the below document for information regarding the return of all pupils to school on Monday 6th September, including start times and what entrance you and your child should use. 
If your child requires a place in the Autumn term breakfast club (2nd Sept – 17th Dec) please complete an application form using the following link https://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/breakfastclubform. The form will be available for completion from 7am, Tuesday 6th July to 5pm, Tuesday 13th July. The number of places will be limited to ensure that social distancing and effective hygiene and preventative measures can be maintained. Places will be prioritised based on the time of application and you will be notified by Friday 23rd July if you are successful or unsuccessful. Unsuccessful applicants will be placed on a reserve list and non-attendance of successful applicants will result in places being reallocated. As places are restricted, please only apply if your child requires access to a free, healthy breakfast before the start of the school day.
Please see the attached information and the link for parents/carers to apply for a place for the Summer Holiday Enrichment Programme (SHEP).
Please see the updated Welsh Government guidance regarding testing for additional Covid 19 symptoms:
The Welsh Government are making Covid-19 testing available to people with a wider range of symptoms such as fatigue, muscle ache or pain, a sore throat, a headache, a runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. This is because some variants and young children do not display the classic three Covid-19 symptoms initially. The request therefore is for people (including children) to get a test if they are feeling unwell in any way. Further detail on how to apply for a test is provided at https://gov.wales/apply-coronavirus-covid-19-test or simply call the free number 119 between the hours of 7am to 11pm. Individuals and their households who take a test because of these other wider symptoms are not required to isolate while they await their test result. This includes learners, who can continue to attend their school or setting while they await a test result. If individuals then receive a positive Covid-19 result, they and their household must then isolate. Households must also isolate if anyone develops any of the three classic Covid-19 symptoms while waiting for a test result taken on wider symptoms to come back. Clearly, children and adults with diarrhoea and/or vomiting should not attend their school/setting until they are symptom-free for 48 hours, even if their Covid-19 test result is negative. The FAQs on the Council’s website have been updated to reflect this latest advice – www.rctcbc.gov.uk/schoolfaqs Please see the updated Welsh Government guidance regarding testing for additional Covid 19 symptoms:

The FAQs on the Council’s website have been updated to reflect this latest advice – www.rctcbc.gov.uk/schoolfaqs We hope you had an enjoyable Easter holiday and we are very happy to once again have all the children back in school. As I'm sure you can appreciate, it was not possible to inform you of the date of INSET days for the Summer Term in advance this year, as forward planning has been very challenging as a result of the pandemic. We can now confirm that these are all the INSET days for the Summer Term.
Nearly all these are at the beginning or end of a school holiday and therefore may possibly help you as families if there is an opportunity to take a holiday in the months ahead. Many thanks for your continued support. INSET Days for Summer Term 2021 Friday 28th May Monday 7th June Friday 25th June Monday 19th July Tuesday 20th July Other dates for your diary 27/5/21 - Break up for Whitsun Half Term 8/6/21 - School resumes for staff and pupils 16/7/21 - Break up for Summer Holidays To celebrate World Book Day today, the Foundation Phase have had our very own 'The Masked Reader' competition! Can you guess which teacher is behind the mask?! If your child requires a place in the summer term breakfast club (12th April – 20th July) please complete an application form using the following link https://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/breakfastclubform. The form will be available for completion from 7am, Friday 12th March to 5pm, Friday 19th March. The number of places due to Covid restrictions will be limited to ensure that social distancing and effective hygiene and preventative measures can be maintained. Places will be prioritised based on the time of application and you will be notified at the end of the application if you are successful or unsuccessful. Unsuccessful applicants will be placed on a reserve list and non-attendance will result in places being reallocated. Please note that in light of the current legislation in relation to breakfast clubs, prioritisation cannot be given to specific groups (e.g. previously unsuccessful applicants, vulnerable groups or key workers) as this provision is intended to provide a healthy breakfast to all learners. As places are restricted, please only apply if your child requires access to a free, healthy breakfast before the start of the school day.
