St Mary's Church in Wales Primary School Website Goes Live

The CELT Digitally Enhanced Learning Team (CDEL) at The University of Wales, Newport has been working in collaboration with The Welsh Assembly Government and Blaenau Gwent County Council to digitize 12 Primary Schools in the Blaenau Gwent area and we are proud to announce that the first website of the project has gone live today - The St Mary's Church in Wales Primary Schools.

Staff, pupils and parents are thrilled to finally have a vehicle through which they can communicate.  

The website has a wealth of features, resources and tools for staff, pupils and parents, features include:-

• School Dinner Menus - so mums and dads know in advance whether their children will like the day's food.
• Useful forms - such as uniform ordering forms, sickness and holiday forms - one parent said "I do not drive so being able to print these forms out at home and email them in will be a god send!"
• Gallery of pupils work - so mums and dads can see the fabulous work their children are doing in school.
• Educational Games - so parents can direct their children to games at home which will as well as allowing them to have fun enhance their learning.
• School Blog - Where the school can keep parents informed and up to date with anything from snow closure days to items in the local news about the schools excellent performance.

The acting Head Mrs Alison Chaplin today said "We cannot thank you enough, we really are thrilled to bits and are delighted to now have such a useful resource at our fingertips".
