Our Best

Look at our wonderful week of learning. We are very proud of our children for trying their best and not giving up.

Yesterday, Minera School was mentioned in the Welsh Government's DYSG eNewsletter that goes to all schools in Wales for best practice!

We are all extremely proud that Minera School has been recognised for its excellent work by Welsh Government and GWE. #veryproudheadteacher

Platinum Jubilee Celebration Tea Towel

We are in the process of designing a school tea towel. Every child will draw a picture of themselves and these will be printed on a tea towel with a special border to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
