Powys Primary School Cross Country

Dydd Ardderchog / Superb Day

Yesterday, some of our learners represented Radnor Valley School at the Powys Primary School Cross Country Challenge 2025 Sport Powys. We are so proud of their efforts, and participation. Diolch yn fawr i Sophie Hodge for adopting the role as, ”Team Lead”. Sophie reported:

”Every single one tried their very best, they cheered on their teammates at the start, middle and end of every race and cheered the other schools round too. I was so proud of all of them and their behaviour was exceptional. The sun shone and they were all awesome!!!”

Remembrance Day

Thank you to the learners and Mrs Lingard who represented Radnor Valley School at the Remembrance Service in New Radnor on Sunday. 

Our younger learners within the school have also been learning about the significance of Remembrance Day. They have created beautiful poppy-themed art and crafts, learning the meaning behind the poppies and why theyโ€™re sold as symbols of remembrance.

Head Teacher for the Day

Learners in Year 6 devised a bucket list of tasks to complete, before the end of their RVS experience! Today.. Learners are ”Headteachers for the Day”. Learners have completed wellbeing and safeguarding checks, dealt with issues such as a lack of food in the kitchen, and dealt with disagreements!

Prince of Wales Band

Wow! Bore Bendigedig. Yesterday, learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell attended a (lively!) The Band of the Prince of Wales concert with learners from Presteigne Primary School and Gladestry Church in Wales Primary School.This was a superb experience and we’d like to thank National Plan for Music in Powys for facilitating this.

Sinfonia Cymru

What a great morning watching Sinfonia Cymru perform. Learners were excellent in describing the images that came to their mind when listening to the music and how it made them feel. They also answered and asked some great questions throughout. We would like to say a big thank you to Sinfonia Cymru for performing to us today!

Multi Health and Well-being Day

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a fantastic day at the Multi Sport Health and Wellbeing Day. We participated in a range of play-based tasks and had lots of fun!

Huge thank you to Sport Powys and Newtown High School – The Cyfle for facilitating another brilliant experience for our learners.

Hay Festival

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a fantastic day at the Hay Festival. We listened to the authors Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Lee Newbery and Jeff Kinney. This is a fantastic experience and we are grateful to all those who facilitate this for our learners.

Many thanks to our helpers who attended, and supported us on this event.

Pottery Trip

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a brilliant day in Builth Wells at Alex Allpress Pottery. Learners had planned a coil pot to create in the studio, and it was fantastic to observe these designs come into fruition
