Communication
At Ysgol Afon Wen, we prioritise clear, timely, and effective communication with our school community to foster strong partnerships between home and school. We employ a range of communication tools to keep parents, carers, and pupils fully informed and engaged in the life and learning of the school.
Weekly School Newsletter
We publish a detailed weekly newsletter that is accessible via our school website and shared across our social media platforms. This newsletter is designed to keep families up-to-date with:
- Upcoming events and important dates
- Whole-school news and achievements
- Highlights from individual classes
- A gallery showcasing pupil work and school activities
Our newsletter not only celebrates the successes of our pupils but also provides valuable information to support parental involvement and community engagement. We encourage parents to regularly read and share the newsletter to stay connected with the vibrant life of Ysgol Afon Wen.
My Child at School App
To enhance communication further, we use the My Child at School App provided by BromCom. This platform is our primary method for sharing real-time updates on pupil attendance, behaviour, and wellbeing. Through the app, parents and carers can also access:
- Letters and important school announcements
- Information about upcoming events
- Notifications tailored to their child’s progress
- Attendance information
- Positive and negative behaviour information
By utilising the My Child at School App, we ensure parents are actively involved in their child’s educational journey, supporting a collaborative approach to learning and development. We strongly encourage all families to regularly check the app to receive the latest updates and maintain close contact with the school.
If you experience any difficulties accessing the My Child at School App, please contact the school office for assistance.
BromCom does have a lot of helpful documentation should you wish to use it for help.
