Headteacher / Pennaeth
Mr. G. Thomas
A very warm welcome to the updated Fenton Community Primary School website. We will be developing this further over the coming months, and are looking forward to creating a comprehensive website to support our learners and families, as well as a way in which we can share our achievements and developments with the wider community.
Fenton is a thriving community school at the heart of a diverse community. Our students and staff work exceptionally well together - always striving to improve, both personally and as a school community. Visitors to the school never fail to mention how happy and welcoming the children are. Staff are exceptionally supportive and caring, which makes Fenton a warm, safe and inclusive place where pupils can learn and experience new things without fear of failure. This is very important to us. I am very proud to be leading this school.
Our school moto underpins everything we do at Fenton Primary School:
‘Be the best we can be’ - ‘Byddwn y gorau y gallwn’
At Fenton our vision is to equip children for life by providing them with the academic, social and personal skills they need to succeed in education, to relate well to others and to pursue their dreams. We strive to achieve this through an exciting curriculum that we are developing as part of the new ‘Curriculum for Wales’.
A key word to life at Fenton is ‘purpose’. We believe that children need to understand what they are learning, why they need to know it and to have the opportunity to apply their learning in meaningful ways.
Please note that the Local Authority is responsible for the admissions process in Pembrokeshire.

WHY IS ATTENDANCE IMPORTANT?
Good attendance is essential to children’s success in school. Pupils who attend regularly are far more likely to achieve well academically, as consistent attendance allows teachers and classes to build skills and make steady progress together. When pupils are frequently absent, learning is disrupted, and gaps can quickly develop.
At Fenton Community Primary School, our aspirational attendance target is 95%. It is widely recognised that children with attendance of 95% or above have a much better chance of reaching their full potential and achieving academic success.
Please work with the school to ensure your child has the best possible attendance. Together, we can give your child the best possible start.
WHERE IS YOUR CHILD ON THE ATTENDANCE LADDER?
If you need any support in improving your child’s attendance or would like to discuss your child’s attendance, then please contact Miss Griffiths (our Family Liaison Officer).
Punctuality is a vital learning habit, as there is a clear link between attendance and attainment. The more time a pupil spends in school, the greater their opportunity to reach their full potential.
Being frequently late for school or lessons adds up to lost learning time:
-
Arriving 5 minutes late every day adds up to over 3 days lost each year.
-
Arriving 15 minutes late every day is the same as being absent for 2 weeks a year.
-
Arriving 30 minutes late every day is the same as being absent for 19 days a year.
