School Times
School times have specifically been arranged to provide the optimum
learning experience for children and the convenience of parents. Proven
scientific research shows that primary age children learn best the earlier
they start school. Parents of nursery children are requested not to collect
them before 3:10 as this shortens the wealth of educational experiences
that they receive.
Foundation Phase (Nursery) - 8.45 to 3.10
Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2 - 8.45 to 3.15
Basic Skills
Porthcawl Primary School holds 2 Basic Skills Quality Marks for showing
how the school improves the skills of numeracy and literacy. This award is
due to be re-assessed in the Autumn term of 2010.
BECTA
Porthcawl Primary School also holds the BECTA ICT mark which is a quality
mark of the very good standard of ICT teaching within the school.

Breakfast Club
We run a FREE breakfast club every morning from 8.10 until the
start of school. The children have a choice of food and drinks and are
able to play and chat together before lessons begin. Enrolment is
simple - just contact the school office.
School meals
School meals are cooked and served on the premises. At present meals
cost £1.90 a day ~ £9.00 a week. Increases occur from time to time but
parents are informed in advanced.
Payments for meals should be made in advance on Monday of each week.
Cheques should be made payable to Bridgend County Borough Council.
The money should be put in an envelope, clearly marked with the child's
name, class and the amount of money enclosed.

School Clubs
The school runs an exciting range of extra curricular clubs.
Please support your child in following our ’club rules’ so that we
can ensure the safety of all our children.
Please note that clubs are only cancelled if there is in excess of 24 hours
notice for parents. Every Monday morning the school phone messages are
updated to indicate which clubs are running that week. In addition, the
weekly newsletter notifies parents of club availability for the following week.
