A Celebration of Diversity

Today we updated our hall map with pins on each country from where our families originate. As far as we are aware, apart from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, we also have families from the following countries…..

• Portugal
• Poland
• Greece
• Russia
• Ukraine
• Turkey
• Nigeria
• India
• China
• Vietnam
• Philippines
• Sri Lanka
• Ecuador
• Caribbean

I’m sure we may have missed a few out - of so, please let us know so we can add more pins!

Colwyn Bay may not be the one of the more diverse communities in the UK but I am fairly confident that our school is one of the most diverse in North Wales. This makes us happy and proud as it means our school is very special. In celebration we have started this academic year with a Whole School Writing Theme on Diversity. To begin we have been reading books which celebrate diversity and reflecting on our similarities and differences.

We hope to share some of our work on this theme at our Family Open Evening on Tuesday 24th September (3.30pm - 5.30pm). At this event there will be a chance for parents and carers to meet staff, ask questions about aspects of school life and chat over a cup of tea or coffee. We also aim to provide cakes and snacks from around the world. (If you’d like to make/bring something to share, please let myself or Mrs Pritchard know)

Thank you for all your support this week - getting children to school on time in the right uniform has meant we’ve made a great start to the year.
