National Literacy and Numeracy Tests – Year 8
Dear Parent/Carer
The National Literacy and Numeracy tests, set by the Welsh Assembly Government, are used to assess how well Learners are progressing. These tests can also highlight where individuals may need additional help to improve their skills or where they are making exceptional progress.
The Reading Test determines how well a text has been understood and assesses the ability of learners to make judgements about reading. The Procedural Test measures skills in number, measuring and data and has been completed electronically. Learners have been developing the skills needed to prepare them for these tests through their learning in school.
Year 8 learners will undertake these tests on the dates outlined below. Attendance is vital however should a learner be absent from school due to unforeseen circumstances we will rearrange the test dates for individuals. Learners must realise and understand the importance of the tests and are expected to display exemplary behaviour during all test sessions.
Following the tests, we will be sharing the most up to date progress information. This will be available online via Hwb. There will be more guidance and support to come on how you can access this information.
Thank you in anticipation of your support. Please do not hesitate to contact the school should you require any further details or information.

School Uniform
Following our uniform announcement related to the hot weather tomorrow, learner voice feedback has requested that the relaxation of certain uniform rules is extended for the remainder of this term.
Following due consideration we will support this request from our learners. Therefore from tomorrow learners do not have to wear blazers or ties, but can do should they still wish to.
Coats should not be worn in place of a blazer and all other uniform requirements remain in place.
From September, all learners will once again be expected to wear full uniform in line with our school uniform policy. This can be found on the school website. http://lliswerryhigh.org/parents/uniform/

Year 11 Letter Update
Dear Year 11 Parent/Carer,
We have had a query about the highlighted section of the letter I sent yesterday, as shown below:
Please note that we will be having an official leavers assembly for our Year 11 learners on 27th May following completion of their Chemistry examination. Those learners who will not be sitting the Chemistry exam will need to be in school for 11 a.m. On this day Year 11 learners will be leaving school at approximately 12.30pm.
To clarify, the reference to 11 a.m. is for any learner who may have an unavoidable reason to be absent that morning e.g. a hospital appointment. All other Year 11 learners should attend for the normal time that day. Apologies for any confusion caused.
Best wishes,
N Davies

Year 11 Parent/Carer Letter
Dear Year 11 Parent/Carer,
As you will be aware we are now approaching the start of the main summer exam series, with the first subject examinations starting on Monday 16th May. As far as our learners are concerned normal attendance at school is required up to May half term, which starts on Monday 30th May.
After half term a bespoke Year 11 timetable will come into operation, focusing on special revision sessions to support learners sitting each exam. This timetable has been e-mailed to all Year 11 learners. For the duration of this timetable Year 11 learners will be required to attend school unless told otherwise. The only times they will not be needed in school is if there is a revision session for a subject that they are not studying. If this is the case, they will be told that they do not need to attend.
The last official day of attendance for all Year 11 learners will be the end of June, but in reality they will not be attending once they have completed all of their examinations unless they are needed for other reasons e.g. to complete coursework. You will be contacted should this be the case.
Please note that we will be having an official leavers assembly for our Year 11 learners on 27th May following completion of their Chemistry examination. Those learners who will not be sitting the Chemistry exam will need to be in school for 11 a.m. On this day Year 11 learners will be leaving school at approximately 12.30pm. Any learner who has taken Electronics as an option will remain in school, as they have that subject’s exam in the afternoon.
Please do discuss the things I have highlighted above with your child if you haven’t already done so.
I would like to thank you all for everything you have done to support your child and our school. Together we have been through a global pandemic, on top of the other ‘normal’ celebrations, trials and tribulations of school life and teenage years! This Year 11 will always have a special place in my heart, as I started as Headteacher on the same day they started in Year 7. Additionally, I taught most of them Design and Technology when they were Year 7 learners and I can still remember them sitting in my classroom during those lessons – how quickly they grow up!
I hope that you and your child have a fantastic summer break following the completion of the summer examinations, and that they get the results they deserve in August on results day (further information to follow regarding this and revision/exam preparation). If you would like any further information or support, please do not hesitate to contact us. I look forward to seeing most of our Year 11 learners once again in September, when they embark upon the next stage of their lives as part of our school’s Sixth Form.
Best wishes,
Neil Davies
