My Happy Mind

Good morning! This term’s My Happy Mind focus is Appreciation – we will be learning what gratitude is and how we can show it in all areas of life! We will all be developing ‘an attitude of gratitude.’

School Essential Grant and Free School Meals

Welsh Government Message to Parents:

Have you claimed what’s yours? If your child is entitled to Free School Meals, there might be more help available via the School Essentials Grant. School costs can all add up. That’s why the Welsh Government is offering support with School Essentials to help with the cost of uniform, kit, stationery and more.
Even if your child already receives a Free School Meal, you still need to check eligibility to access the School Essentials Grant and extra funding for your school. We are urging all parents and carers to claim the help with school costs they are entitled to – up to £200 if you are eligible.

Extra-curricular Activities

Extra-curricular activities boost young people’s confidence to interact socially with others; extend their social networks; and provide them with new skills and abilities. Above all, they offer an important space to have fun and relax. Participating in extracurricular activities builds teamwork, communication, relationships, and a sense of belonging, all of which help students to develop socially and be successful in school. Participation in extra-curricular activities demonstrates the importance of community involvement. At Victoria CP School, staff willingly give up their free time to provide extra opportunities for our children as we are strong advocates of the immense benefits of extended learning opportunities and experiences – I am forever grateful for their commitment.
