New Year = New Beginnings

A newsletter from Mrs .Edwards:

New Year = New Beginnings J

I am so pleased to be joining you all and adding to the success that everyone has achieved already alongside Mr Sullivan. I have many ideas that I want to introduce to our school community, which I will share with you all as the Spring term develops.

My main aim is to work with parents to ensure your child receives an outstanding education, which will remain broad and balanced giving your child a wealth of experiences.

During the next few months I will take time to meet/communicate with everyone involved with Abercanaid Community School to ensure I introduce the right initiatives to drive our school forward.

As a headteacher, I am very open and I value opinions and suggestions. I very much want to develop further the ethos of Abercanaid as a Community School. I am excited to be joining and working alongside you all. I firmly believe that happy children learn and this will always be at the forefront of any decisions made.

I hope you have all had a happy Christmas with many happy memories and are ready for 2017 and our new beginning. To help me with my first week, I would be really pleased if you could chat with your child on New Year resolutions. These could be personal or linked to school. If they could bring one thought to school, I will then collect them all next week and use them throughout the year.

Enjoy the New Year celebrations and I’ll see you all next Tuesday 3rd January 2017.

Excellence for everyone, success for all

Mrs J W Edwards.


The school will reopen Tuesday 3rd January for all pupils. 


End of an Era

The end of the Autumn Term saw us say goodbye to Mr. Thomas, who has moved into a new career, as well as Mr. Sullivan, who is retiring. We'd like to wish them all the best and look forward to them visiting us in the future.

Christmas Concerts

A massive thank you to everyone who came along to watch our fantastic Christmas Concerts: Mend the Manger and Alice in Wonderland.

The children were a credit to the school and we are so so proud of them for how hard they worked and how well they performed in each of the shows!

DVDs of both shows will be available some time in the new year.
