Llantwit Major School 
Welcome Back - Message from the Headteacher
Dear Parent/Carer,
I trust that you and your family have enjoyed a relaxing summer.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our pupils back to school over the next few days. Please be reminded that Year 7, 11 and 12 only return to school on Wednesday 4th September and all year groups are back in from Thursday 5th September. You will not be able to view your child’s timetable on SIMS or Class Charts prior to them returning to school. Please rest assured they will be provided with a paper timetable on their first day back. Now that registration is first thing in the morning pupils will go to their form class when they arrive on the first day and members of the leadership team will be on hand to direct them accordingly.
I wrote to you just before the summer break to remind you of our uniform expectations, which are as follows:
- Black tailored trousers/ shorts or knee length skirt - NOT leggings or jeans
- White short sleeved or long sleeved shirt
- School tie
- Either white socks OR black socks OR black tights - one option only
- All black shoes
- School jumper - no hoodies
Can I please ask for your support in ensuring your child has these items and leaves for school wearing them. These basic uniform requirements are non-negotiable and pupils will not be admitted to learning if they arrive incorrectly dressed, instead parents/carers will be contacted and asked to bring appropriate items to school. We want to ensure as smooth a start to the school year as possible, so I would very much appreciate you discussing these uniform requirements with your child and reinforcing they must follow them. If you are struggling to obtain any uniform items please email the High School inbox and we can arrange you visiting school to obtain items from our school uniform store Major Items.
May I also remind you that we are a no mobile phone school. Pupils are not permitted to use their mobile phones on the school site at any point during the school day, including breaktimes and lunchtimes. If a pupil is seen using a mobile phone, it will be confiscated and if a pupil refuses to hand it over then their parent/carer will be called to come to school and support. Please remind your child of these expectations before they return.
We look forward to working closely and productively with you all throughout the academic year and thank you as ever for you continued support.
Mrs C Robins
Headteacher
