Dear Parents and Carers
Letter to parents 13-12-21
I do hope this letter finds you well. Today, 13th December 2021, Denbighshire CC announced that all schools will switch to online learning for all pupils and students for the last two days of this term. This means that next week (Monday and Tuesday) all learners are not to attend school for these days. School is not closed and staff will be working in order to prepare and set lessons for these final two days.
Here are key points of information to address many of the issues for next week:
DCC has taken this decision due to the emergence of Omicron, the new variant of concern and also due to the increased number of cases across Denbighshire.
I will write to you all again soon with a further update from the school. School will be open to all pupils and students as planned on the 10th of January 2022.
Update on Face to face learning - DCC update

Dear Parents / Carers - 2021_12_06_Closing Early
We are fast approaching the end of another school year. It has been a challenging year for us all as the threat from Covid remains ever present. Despite these challenges I am extremely proud of how the pupils, staff and community have helped the school lose so few teaching hours over the past 12 months and I ask all parents and carers to continue to be vigilant over the Christmas season.
As in previous years, and in recognition for the hard work our pupils have put in over the year, I am pleased to announce the school will be closing early at 12.20pm on Tuesday, 21st December. This will allow pupils and their families a little extra time together to prepare for the festive season.
Pupils are expected to attend school and lessons as normal. The school has made all the necessary arrangements for school buses/taxis to be at school early to transport pupils home.
The last day of term will be a non-uniform day for pupils. Pupils wearing their own clothes are expected to make a £1 donation, via ParentPay, which will be donated to St. Kentigern's Hospice.
School re-opens for new term:
The school re-opens for students on Monday 10th January. The 6th and 7th of January are staff training days.
I’d like to wish everyone a lovely break, a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
Yours faithfully,

Dear/Annwyl Parents/Guardians,
Download the letter - Cenotaph campaign
I am writing to you following the moving acts of remembrance over the last few weeks.
Over two million people currently work and volunteer within our emergency services, all of whom have shown commitment to public service throughout the pandemic. The 999 Cenotaph campaign seeks to recognise that sacrifice and has support from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the Prime Minister and the First Ministers of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The 999 Cenotaph would be placed along Whitehall.
The campaign is now encouraging all school, college and University students throughout the UK to support the campaign on Friday 3rd December.
At Prestatyn High School, we feel students can support the campaign by wearing a colour from the emergency services (red, blue, green or orange) with their full school uniform. A suggested donation of £1 should be made via ParentPay if your child would like to participate.
We will also be selling key rings and cakes with the colours represented by the emergency services.
More information about the campaign can be found at www.999cenotaph.org.uk.
We look forward to your child helping us to support the campaign.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely/ Yn gywir
Mrs PJ Hill

We know how disruptive the last year has been for everyone. We want to keep your child in school as much as possible, but we also want to keep our schools and communities safe from the effects of COVID-19. Everyone has a role to play to if we are to achieve this and we kindly ask for your support.
As we continue to manage Covid-19 within our educational settings, we would like to remind you of some key information:
The three key symptoms of COVID-19 are:
If your child is over the age of 5 years old and has any of these three key symptoms:
If your child receives a positive result, please keep your child at home to isolate for 10 days and inform the school as soon as is reasonably possible as you would with any other absence. Follow the rules set out at gov.wales/self-isolation. They must not return to school until their isolation period is over and they show no key symptoms. If the test is negative, your child can return to school as soon as they feel better.
If your child is under the age of 5 years old they should remain off school whilst they have symptoms. They must not return to school until their isolation period is over and they show no key symptoms. They should not take COVID-19 tests unless directed to do so by a doctor or if you believe a test is absolutely necessary and in the best interests of your child.
As the parent/guardian you will be contacted by Test Trace Protect either by SMSs to complete an electronic tracing form online or by phone. Please ensure that you provide the details of those who live in your household and those people who have had close contact with your child so that they can be advised appropriately (this will help us to prevent the virus from spreading).
Yours faithfully
Neil Foley - B.Sc. MA. Pennaeth Headteacher
