Deri Primary staff gave up their half term (and even Mrs James who is retired) came in to change our library into a classroom. Teamwork makes the dream work.

What a fabulous community we have in Deri. During lockdown the residents and their families of Glynmarch street raised money with doorstep bingo and raffles. The school was presented with the money raised which we will put towards some new iPads for all the children. Thank you!
So first it was the turn of Deri Staff to brighten up the lockdown and now it's over to the experts - The LegenDeri Kids TicTok Mash UP! Please like and retweet!
We have just received our our Eco-schools Platinum + Award. Well done to all the children but a huge thanks to the Eco committee and Mrs Coles for their hard work.
Today we had a special assembly for Mrs James. She has been at the heart of Deri for over 30 years. We wish you a happy retirement. Please come back and visit, especially for our Eisteddfod.
To everyone in our Deri family - thinking of you all in these terrible floods. Let’s hope we can get the school and houses back to normal ASAP. Keep safe everyone
It was an absolute joy to have over half the school in today. There was lots of catching up and playing together as well as lots of learning. Even the sun was shining! 😀🌞
Very proud of Tess and Cariadance Team at the British Formation Championship in Blackpool this weekend. I know that there were also pupils from

I was so proud to take some of our children to the remembrance day service at Deri War Memorial today. Their behaviour was impeccable and their poetry readings were clear and confident.

With a little rearranging, Deri Primary School will be open for all children and staff on Monday. It’s going to be a busy and fun packed half term.

Good morning world! Let’s see what today brings. Today we’ll be making the most of spending time with everyone at school and thinking about how we can look after everyone in our Deri family.

Thankful that we were all safe at home today when this happened to the roof of Deri Library which ended up in the street leading to school. Glad to hear no one was hurt. Hopefully the clean up and repairs won’t take too long.
All shows over for another year. I’m so proud of all our wonderful children. Thank you to all parents and families for your support. Working together to be the best we can be!

Looking forward to seeing all the foundation phase and our KS2 group tomorrow. It will be great to see you all. For those Year 3-6 pupils still learning at home - keep up the fantastic effort.
Just dropped our collection off at Moose Hall in Blackwood. Where Delwyn kindly sorted them ready to be shipped off to the Ukraine tomorrow. Thank you again!
WOW! A whopping £201 raised for Children in Need. We loved our super sporty day, joined in with
@thebodycoach
and bought fruit kebabs and fruit juice. Da iawn pawb!
Thank you to all the staff for my lovely congratulations gifts. This would have been done in celebration assembly but life had other plans. Thank you to all parents for their cards,gifts and congratulations too. It means a lot.
Everyone loved meeting Willow the well-being Wonder dog today. She was a huge hit. Here she is in the Forest School area and having a nap in the office! She’ll be back in school soon but she needs a rest now!
So proud of our children in year 5 and 6 who sang carols for the residents of Ysgwyddgwyn residential complex today. Getting into the Christmas spirit. Thank you Beryl for providing treats for the children.
Settling down to our Harvest Festival in St Peter’s Church. Thank you all for coming. Deri is a fantastic community and it was a wonderful occasion to come together to say thank you and share all we have. Your kind donations to the food bank are much appreciated.
Today all our children received their free book from the UK government to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. It was quite poignant to receive it in the week the Queen passed away.

Wow! Wow! Wow! All three performances of Five Gold Rings done and dusted and they were all spectacular! Thank you to staff for working so hard, parents for providing the costumes, friends of the school for refreshments and the children for their magic! As always

Two years ago today I was in school alone and the fact that I could hear the ticking clock made me sad and also hopeful. I was sad because the children’s voices were not drowning it out, but hopeful because the clock kept ticking safe in the knowledge that everything must pass.
Breaking news! A Dalek has crash landed at Deri Primary School. Do not panic! The children are using all their skills of investigation and problem solving to send it home. Hopefully they can do it in time before anyone gets EXTERMINATED!
Today we held our Nursery and Whole School Sports Day. The children were amazing and the parents were brilliant in their very own race. Congratulations Ty Ogilvie. Everyone was
