Hello year 6,

I am writing this introduction to your website at the end of our first two weeks of the new year in Brynteg and what a brilliant start we have had.  Our new year 7 pupils have all settled in really well and have big smiles on their faces and I know that you will be the same this time next year as you become pupils of our school.

This term our new pupils will have lots of new and exciting experiences from meeting lots of new friends, teachers and support staff, being part of a new form group, experiencing different lessons, taking part in our enrichment activities and much more.  There are so many things for our year 7’s to do, I sometimes wonder how they fit them all in!

I am just starting my seventh year at Brynteg and before this I was a headteacher in schools in Swansea and Leeds.  I can honestly say that I love every single minute of being in this wonderful school.  It is big and you think that it is easy to get lost, but I can tell you from personal experience, there is always someone there to help you; this tells you how friendly a place in which this is to be.  I think that you may be like me when you start, a little nervous but quite quickly these nerves go away and then you just can’t wait to get back in to school each and every day!

Please have a good look around this website as it is there to help you and to answer the questions you may have.  I think you will find it really useful, but it is only one small part of all of the things we are going to do with you and your primary schools to ensure that you have as much information as possible about us.

If you would like (and with your parents/carers permission) you can send me some questions and perhaps let me know what you think of this website.  My email address is daviesr1327@hwbcymru.net  - it would be so nice to hear from you!

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Mr. Ryan Davies

(Headteacher)
