Welcome to Class Jupiter

Communication

Class Dojo is a brilliant communication tool and used on a regular basis to keep parents/guardians up to date with announcements and messages, as well as posting pictures of classroom activities. It is beneficial that all parents/guardians are set up on Class Dojo. If you require any support with this, then please speak with Mr Saunders.

If you need to contact Mr Saunders, please email saundersb12@hwbcymru.net 

Daily Routines:

Our school gates will be open from 8:40 at Soar Terrace, they will be supervised by staff until the bell rings at 8:50.
