Swimming Lessons Information (Dosbarth Melyn & Gwyrdd)
Fri 08 Oct 2021Dear Parent/Carer,
Swimming lessons will begin on the Friday 15th October.
Lessons are delivered by qualified swimming instructors at Ystrad Sports centre and pupils will be transported both ways on a bus promptly at 9am. Please ensure your child arrives on time before the bus departs.
Children will need to bring a towel, bathers/costume and goggles. (Bathers should be worn under uniform) Please can all clothing be labelled as this will help with mix ups.
As a little home task we are asking parents to help their child practice changing at home to help cut down the changing times when we arrive at the pool.Thanks for your support

Welsh Government Covid-19 testing updated Information
Mon 26 Apr 2021The 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
