Dear Parent/Carer,
I am delighted to announce that we are holding an open evening for Year 6 pupils and their families on Monday 30th September 2024 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. The evening is an opportunity for you to gain an insight into the amazing educational, extra-curricular and wellbeing opportunities we offer at Ysgol Bae Baglan.
There will be no formal tour as such but our pupils will be on hand to escort you around upon your arrival in the main reception area. There will be pupils and staff within each department area to answer any questions you may have regarding the transition process. Our Senior Leadership Team will also be available on each wing of the school to answer any questions/queries. Our Head of Middle School, Mr Morgan, Transition Co-ordinator, Mrs Harries and our Year 7 2025/26 Wellbeing Director Mrs Jenkins will also be available in the atrium.
Our school prospectus is available to view on our school website. Several transition activities take place throughout the academic year.
