Tempo Time Credits are a way of us as a school saying “Thank you” for the valuable time you give us volunteering (e.g. school trips, helping in class) and when you attend courses we run at school.

For every hour you give us, we give you 1 Time Credit. These are digital credits that you can build up and use for lots of different activities, see link for details of where you can spend: https://tempotimecredits.org/use/postcode=&location=Cardiff&county=&keyword=&selectedActivity=Days+Out&tab=nearby&distance=10&includeNationalOffers=true&availableOffersOnly=false&page=1

Parental Workshops at Meadowlane Primary School

This year at Meadowlane we are continuing our Parental Workshops. These are workshops where you can come in with your children and have some fun. It is proven that when children see their parents engaging with school life they learn more! These sessions are informal, fun and a really good way to meet other parents and build friendships.
