Mrs Meyler

Penrhiwceibr Primary School

Family Engagement Officer

Mrs Melyer is our school Family Engagement Officer. Many of you will know Mrs Meyler from her role as HLTA, working with children across the school.

This helps support pupils and families with many issues. Our aim is to work in partnership with families, parents, carers and pupils helping to improve behaviour and attendance and to overcome the barriers to learning so that parents can increase their involvement in their children’s education both at school and at home.

Mrs Meyler is available to assist families in getting the support you need with the ever-increasing challenges you face; issues like childcare, employment, benefits, access to foodbanks, clothing grants, referrals to outside agencies, even support completing applications etc. If you have an educational issue regarding your children and teachers are not available you can speak confidentially with Mrs Meyler who will liaise with teachers to come to a happy resolution.

Mrs Meyler is available on one of the gates most mornings and can also be contacted by telephone through the school reception. Alternatively, you can contact via email at admin@penrhiwceibrprimary.rctcbc.cymru.

Family Engagement

We are all feeling the increasing financial pressure on our families at the moment so we are working hard to develop different ways to support our school community.

We have set up a Free School Uniform Exchange which has a selection of pre-loved school uniform available free of charge.

We now have a Supply Store to supplement families food shopping and sanitary needs. We are asking for donations from shops and our school community for items which families can collect from us to help alleviate the current financial burden.

Please donate if you can; cereals, jars and tinned food, tea, coffee, sugar, squash, long-life milk, toothpaste, soap, deodorants, shampoo, toilet paper, washing powder, cleaning products etc. For all queries see our Family Engagement Officer, Mrs Kelly.
