ST CLARE’S SCHOOL NEWS
We are looking forward to reopening the school as per government guidance from Monday, 29th June. Schools are to be open for pupils to “Check in, catch up and prepare for summer and September.” As we go to print, we are just finalising detailed plans on how this can be done adhering to the guidelines. Fortunately, we are in a very different position to many schools. In the week before Easter we moved every year group from Nursery to Sixth Form to our Online Learning Programme. Our pupils have benefitted from a fully interactive, structured timetable with the same scheme of work, same high-quality teaching, interaction with their peers and teachers as well as assessment, marking and teacher feedback, without any interruption to their studies. Our guide to online learning is on our website but, of course, we are now busy working on our Reopening Booklet! Our Virtual Open Mornings in June was a great success. If you missed them but would still find out what a difference a St Clare’s education could make for your child, visit our website www.stclares-school.co.uk or contact our friendly Admissions Team who will be available all through the summer holidays.

We are so looking forward to welcoming our pupils back to school at the end of June! We are delighted that after weeks of uncertainty, we will have the opportunity to touch base with our learners before the summer break and allay any concerns that they might have before September. As I write this piece, we are finalising the details of exactly this will transpire, and by the time of publication, all pupils will have been contacted with arrangements. In the meantime, PCS pupils mostly from Years 8 and 12 have been involved in an important study being conducted by Dr Michael Ward, Senior Lecturer in Social Studies at Swansea University. ‘Corona Diaries’ is documenting the everyday lived experiences of a global pandemic, to record people’s changing life experiences in the coming weeks and months through their own testimonies and accounts. The experience has been very beneficial for our pupils. With the global shortage of Personal Protective Equipment, the Design and Technology Department continues to pour its talents into making PPE face shields for the local community. Already the school has made and delivered almost a thousand protective visors in the Porthcawl and Bridgend area. Grateful recipients include Cwm Taf Morgannwg nurses, pharmacies, opticians, dentists, nursing homes, vets, care agencies, post office workers and Porthcawl Co-op staff. The school has set up a Go Fund Me page in the hope of covering the costs of the materials, and volunteers will continue making the shields whilst the demand is there.
