Weather Update

yfmail — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 14:44:10 +0000

Dear Parent/Guardian/Annwyl Rieni/Gwarchodwyr,

Good afternoon/ Prynhawn da

Please see the latest update from Clare Hommard (Chief Officer of Education):

Please find below an update on the weather over the next 48 hours ahead of Storm Goretti.

From 17:00 hours on Thursday (8th January) until 12:00 hours on Friday (9th January), Flintshire is covered by a yellow weather warning for Snow

Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions later Thursday and into Friday

Rain, associated with Storm Goretti, will spread north eastwards across the warning area through Thursday afternoon and evening, transitioning to snow fairly widely overnight and into Friday.

Snow initially will begin to accumulate across hills in Wales and then increasingly to lower levels overnight. Whilst not all areas may see accumulating snow, accumulations of 5-10 cm are likely quite widely, with scope for 15-25 cm in places, especially on some hills above 200 metres elevation. There is a chance of 30 cm accumulating over high ground in Wales.

There is some uncertainty over the exact track of Storm Goretti, which will influence the locations most likely to see disruptive snow. Amounts of snow will also depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, and as this becomes somewhat lighter into Friday this will lead to an awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow, gradually clearing away to the east. Therefore, there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances.

We will notify parents if the school is closed. We advise that you have a contingency plan in place should a closure occur.

Please ensure you regularly check the following channels for the most up-to-date information:

Pea Planting for the Cilcain Show Competition

yfmail — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:38:49 +0000

The children last Friday took part in planting peas as part of their preparation for the upcoming Cilcain Show. They carefully sowed the seeds, learning about the process of growing plants and the importance of patience and care. This hands-on activity not only helped them understand more about gardening but also gives them a chance to showcase their efforts at the show in August. They are looking forward to seeing their pea plants grow and hopefully impress the judges at the event.

A big thank you to Bethan and Yvette for coming into school to help the children.
