Annwyl Rhieni / Gwarcheidwiaid / Dear Parents / Carers,

As this term draws to a close, I wanted to send out essential reminders so that our pupils can prepare for their return to school after the Easter holidays. There has been no change to the expectations that we have for our pupils in terms of uniform. We are aware that some parents may need support to buy items of uniform; if this is the case, please contact the school and we will be able to help.

In September, we introduced the mobile phone holders; this has had a positive effect on learning. Thank you for your support with this. It is important that all learners are responsive, respectful, and that they comply with our expectations. This is so that we can get on with what matters most: educating our young people. Successful education starts with the basics, and that means all pupils and parents supporting our expectations. For example, ensuring that all uniform and shoes are correct, that the rules on make-up, nails, piercings, and mobile phones are followed. It is also important that pupils bring a bag with them to school every day. As we prepare for the new term, we will insist on all of our learners complying with these expectations. Failure to follow these simple rules will result in sanctions. However, we are aware that as we move into the summer, the temperature may change and we will adapt our uniform expectations accordingly.

It is important that our learners are in school each and every day to ensure that they are not missing out on learning time. Pupils must also be on time to school and to their lessons.
Please remember to enjoy your Easter holidays safely. All of our learners need to be socially responsible citizens in
our fantastic community.

Yn gywir / Yours faithfully,

Mrs Pam Hill

Year 10 Parents' Evening, at Prestatyn High School, on Tuesday 29th April from 4pm-6:30pm. Appointments can be made, online, by following this link: https://prestatynhigh.schoolzineplus.co.uk/view-session/4

Dear Parent / Guardian,

I am writing to invite you to our Learning Pathways Parents’ Information Evening to be held on Tuesday 4th February 2025. The time of the session for you to attend is outlined below based upon form group.
These subject choices are amongst the most important ones to be made in Prestatyn High School. This is a crucial evening when we will explain about the subjects and choices your son/daughter will be asked to make for their Key Stage 4 courses next year.

The Options Booklet will be issued to pupils before the evening and the booklet will also be available online on the school’s website. Please bring the options booklet with you on the night. Information has also been given to your son/daughter in assemblies prior to the event. I will explain in the hall the Learning Pathways, the external examinations and the different qualifications available. Information, advice and guidance on making appropriate decisions will be the focus of the evening and establish important dates to come.

There will be an opportunity to look at subject displays about the courses and ask any questions you may have about the options available. Careers Wales will have a representative on hand to advise and discuss the opportunities available. Can I please stress, however, that this is not the evening when we discuss the progress of individual students. The parents’ evening for year 9 will take place on May 6th and any further concerns regarding your son/daughters’ progress should be discussed by appointment with Mrs. Larkin.

Traditionally this information evening is extremely well attended by both students and parents. The evening will be organised in two sessions to ensure that all students and parents derive the maximum benefit from this opportunity to find out more about the many choices available. There is limited parking at school and along Princess Avenue, so with this in mind please try to stick to the times given and where possible to avoid congestion park away from the school.

5:00pm - 5.30pm - Parents & students in Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Neptune in the Hall, then 5.30pm – 6.00pm browse course and subject displays and talk to subject staff.
6.00pm – 6:30pm - Parents & students in Orion, Pluto, Saturn and Venus in the Hall, then 6.30pm – 7:00pm browse course and subject displays and talk to subject staff.

I look forward to seeing you at the Information Evening. If you have any queries regarding the arrangements, please contact me or Mrs. Larkin.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. A. Hall
Assistant Headteacher
