First day of Term (please click to view full details)

Here is the final tie design that pupils will be wearing from September. Each pupil will receive a free of charge tie on his or her first day of school in September. Kelvin Farmer created the winning design and had this to say, 

"I entered the tie design competition and won it! I was really pleased when I found out that I had the most votes for my design. I had to design my tie again for the manufacturer on the computer and therefore had to make some amendments to my design. I decided against putting the logo on the top ....

Following a nomination by a past pupil Mrs. I Lewis was visited at school by judges from the National Teaching Awards. After being observed she was invited to attend the prestigious National Teaching Awards event in Cardiff on June 4th 2010. Here she was awarded an outstanding contribution award for promoting the Welsh language in a secondary school. We congratulate her on this wonderful achievement.

As i'm sure you are aware girls PE kit consists of:

Black shorts and a round neck t-shirt or old school polo-shirt.

If it is cold pupils may wear a plain black top or waterproof jacket, not school coat.

The following items are optional and available to buy to wear in lessons aswell as for matches.

A big thank you to all those who attended the prom on Friday night! A brilliant night was had by both pupils and staff with a special mention going to the hard work put in by Mrs. Parry and Orchard who did a superb job of making it the success it was.

Feedback from the manager at the Manor Hotel was excellent you have done your-selves proud again. Well done!

After a late start the concert went off with a bang (or should that be a scream from our girls). The girls were very pleased to see the boys with many commenting "They were lush!"

We thank the boys for their performance, autographs and interaction with the crowd. We wish them every success with their up and coming album release.

See them again on the upcoming X Factor series.
