As a school we work hard to develop links with our community. These have provided a wide range of opportunities for our pupils and have provided them with the chance to develop real life skills and interact and develop their confidence when communicating with adults.  We have also benefitted from kind donations from local businesses in the form of prizes for raffles and competitions and financial support for some projects. We have also worked closely with 'Hapus' a local charity to run classes for our parents in financial management, positive parenting and English Second Language classes for our families.

HAPUS

Hapus are a local charity who are committed to working to make our community a better place. Over the past few years they have worked with us on a number of projects to support families at Albany. They gave run money management courses fir parents along with parent talk groups giving support and advice on day to day parenting. Most recently they have organised ESOL classes for our parents with English as a second language. We have 18 parents attending this course with more signed up for future courses. This is proving to be a very effective partnership for our school. 

This year we have developed our link with Business in the community and are delighted that Motonovo Finance have teamed up with us and are providing us with 5 reading volunteers every Thursday morning. We are very grateful to Motonovo Finance and the children are really enjoying developing their reading skills with these volunteers.
We also had a team of volunteers from Compass-Group and Cardiff City re-vamping and bringing to life our Forest School.
