  We have had a fantastic year this year at Oaklands Primary, thank you to our parents and staff for all of their support this year. 

   

  School Uniform Exchange and Recycling

  We are supporting the Uniform Exchange which aims to encourage the people of RCT to recycle and donate uniform rather than throwing away, allowing other families living in the area to benefit from their generosity. You can donate any school uniform items from RCT primary or secondary schools in good condition, with no holes, tears, stains or embroidered names. Please give them a wash first and remove any name tags if possible so we can distribute them immediately. Donations can be made to:

   

  St Fagans Community Hall,

  Windsor St, Trecynon,

  Aberdare,

  CF44 8LL

  Open 10am -12noon weekdays or 9-11am Sunday mornings

   

  If you are in need of school uniform for September you can visit the Citizens Advice centre in Mountain Ash, there is no qualification process, it’s simply on a first come first served basis. The centre is open:

   

  Monday, 9.30 – 12.30

  Tuesday, 10.00 – 15.30

  Wednesday, 13.00 – 16.00

  Friday, 9.30 – 12.30.

   

  Alternatively if you have uniform which may be past its best please do not throw it out as we are taking part in the RCT Uniform Recycling Challenge in school in September so please bring any uniform in on the first day back.

   

  I would like to wish all of our pupils and parents a very safe and happy summer holidays.  Enjoy your holidays whatever you may be doing. 

   

  We will return to school on Tuesday the 3rd of September.
