  • Welsh Government Winter Fuel Allowance

    Tue 04 Oct 2022 CJ

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    Please find below information about the Welsh Government Fuel Support Scheme ( WGFSS).  

    This has been taken directly from the BCBC website.

     

    As part of a support package of over £90m to address immediate pressures on living costs, Welsh Government has made funds available for a new Fuel Support Scheme this winter.

    Eligible households can claim a one-off £200 cash payment to provide support towards paying their winter fuel bills. This payment is in addition to the Energy Bill rebate being offered by the UK Government and the Winter Fuel Payment normally paid to pensioners.

    The scheme is open to households where an applicant is in receipt of any of the following qualifying benefits (at any time between the 1 September 2022 and 31 January 2023):

    • Council Tax Reduction
    • Income Support
    • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
    • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
    • Universal Credit
    • Working Tax Credit
    • Child Tax Credit
    • Pension Credit
    • Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
    • Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
    • Attendance Allowance
    • Carer’s Allowance (including underlying entitlement to Carer’s Allowance)
    • Contribution-based/New Style Jobseekers Allowance
    • Contribution-based/New Style Employment and Support Allowance
    • Armed Forces Independence Payment
    • Constant Attendance Allowance
    • War Pension Mobility Supplement

    Applicants must also be responsible for paying the energy bills for the property.

    The payment will be available to all eligible households regardless of whether they pay for their fuel on a pre-payment meter, by direct debit, quarterly or for those who use off-grid fuel.

    If a householder, or their partner, is liable for fuel costs but does not receive any of the qualifying benefits, they could still be eligible for a payment if they have a qualifying person living with them.

    A person meets the definition of a qualifying person if they:

    An eligible household for this scheme is defined below:

    Single person

    • You apply to the scheme by 5pm on 28 February 2023
    • You are responsible for paying the fuel bills at your property
    • You are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, or you live with someone who receives one of the qualifying disability benefits; and
    • These benefits are in payment at any time between 1 September 2022 and 31 January 2023.
    • You have not received a payment under the scheme before

    Couple

    • You or your partner apply to the scheme by 5pm on 28 February 2023

    • These benefits are in payment at any time between 1 September 2022 and 31 January 2023
    • You or your partner have not received a payment under the scheme before

    HEADTEACHER UPDATE

    What a wonderful week we have had in school this week! All the children have enjoyed being outdoors undertaking a variety of activities. It does seem that we have had every season squashed into 5 days!

     

    We have had further deliveries related to our Big Bocs Bwyd. After over 190 votes, our school community has chosen the name – LLAN CWTCH. There will be a competition over the Easter Holidays to design a mural for the outside of the box to make it more inviting and appealing.

    We have also received some gardening tools and our 6 allotments have arrived.

     

    Our KS2 Care Base has participated in an Ospreys Rugby Camp and they were a credit to the school.

     

    Despite COVID restrictions changing in the community – School advice and guidance and more importantly, our risk assessment remains unchanged. If your child is symptomatic they cannot come to school and must be tested using an LFT. Only when well and negative to they return. If they are positive, then isolation periods remain and they cannot come to school.

     

    I can’t believe next week is the last week of the Spring Term. Hopefully, the weather will remain warm and we can spend more time learning outside.

     

    As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns.

  • End of term

    Wed 15 Dec 2021 CJ

    Christmas performances will be released tomorrow or Friday. We hope you enjoy them. 

    It is worth noting that, with current guidelines, if a child or a family member was to contract COVID from today (Wednesday 15th December) onwards, then you would need to isolate for Christmas day, an eventuality nobody wants to incur.
    It is for this reason that I kindly ask parents to avoid sending in any pupils with the wider symptoms or any mild illness.
    We would like everyone, pupils, staff and you as parents to be able to safely spend time with family over this festive season.
