Dear Parents/Carers, Pontrhondda Primary School has been selected to take part in the ‘RISE’ Study about free school meals. This research study looks at how to improve school food in Welsh primary schools. Researchers will be observing a school lunchtime period, and your child may be asked to have their school meal or packed lunch photographed. No name will be attached to these photographs and if your child’s lunch is selected, they will receive a £10 voucher. Photographs will not contain your child or anyone else in the school. If your child is in years 3 to 6, they will be invited to complete a food-focussed survey about what they eat at home and in school, answers to this survey will be anonymised. This will take place during class time with their teacher. To find out more, please see the link below which give a more detailed overview of the research activities. If you do NOT want your child to take part in these research activities, please submit the form using the link provided. https://socsi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9AAEoUoxY3Ds6bA

Folly Farm 2026

Tue 28 Apr 2026

Dear Parents,

We are arranging a trip to Folly Farm for the whole school on Thursday July 9th. We need to have a fairly accurate idea of numbers to be able to cost the trip. Entrance to Folly Farm is £9.50 and the bus will be a maximum of £20 (subsidised) but this will depend on numbers. We aren’t allowed to make a profit on school trips so any charge would be influenced by the number of pupils attending, obviously the more who pay, the less the cost and school will also pay towards this to try and keep the overall cost as low as possible. Once the deposit has been paid to secure a place, the remaining balances can be paid as often as you like, with the final balance due by Friday 26th June

In order to have definite numbers, we need a £10 deposit per family and ask that we are informed of any pupils definitely NOT attending. Deposits are non-refundable, must be paid online and will need to be paid by Monday May 11th to guarantee a place.

Any problems, please get in touch.
Pay deposits online here:
