Tonna is situated in the Neath Valley approximately 2 miles from the town of Neath. This website aims to keep families, prospective families, and friends in touch with what is happening within our school. We are continuing to develop our school website and as pages are created they will be added.
Tonneau Primary Community School is housed in two separate buildings connected by a link path. The older building has the pupils from Nursery to Year 3, whilst the newer building has two semi-open plan teaching areas for the Years 4, 5, and 6 pupils. This building also has the main school hall, used by all pupils for assemblies, P.E., drama and indoor games as well as for mid-day sandwiches or school lunch –which is cooked on the premises. The hall in the older building has been adapted to provide a range of teaching and learning activities and is also used for infant assemblies. The Nursery has its own enclosed outdoor playing area, with a range of play equipment.
We are always looking to develop the fabric of our buildings and work closely with LEA contractors whenever finances allow. We are fortunate to have a hard-working PTA and close links with the Community Council who provides us with access to funding we would otherwise not have. The school has extensive, open surroundings which provide ample opportunity for quality provision. The Community Council has also used our grounds to build a Multi Use Games Area again extending the experiences available to our pupils.
As the main focus for community activities, many pupils return to the school in the evenings for Rainbows and Brownies, whilst their parents, grandparents, or great grandparents could be in school in the evenings as members of the Tonna Male Voice Choir. The school has strong links within the community. We often support and participate in activities with Tonna Hospital, Tonna Senior Citizens group, St. Anne’s Church as well as Noddfa Newydd and Nazareth Chapels.
