• Goodbye and good luck to our Y11!

  Tue 09 Jun 2026

  A day of sadness and pride as we said goodbye to our Y11s. As a very small school, it feels like saying farewell to family, we wish you all well and every future success. We hope we have taught you all to take pride in yourselves, be open to learning and new experiences and always work hard to succeed.

• Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026 ⚽️

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026!

   

  We raised £70 and had a fantastic game of football, greens v blues 

   

  I’m sure the blues (the gals) won even though those greens had a professional on their team!

  💚🩵

   

  We have the right to play and relax.

   

  Children all over the world are denied this fundamental childhood right and the chance to thrive and develop. 
  Every penny we raised is spent by UNICEF on making sure children can play ⚽️

• Mental Health Awareness Week 💜

  Fri 15 May 2026

  This week, staff and pupils have been considering our own and others’ mental health. It is as important as physical health and we have to take care of it. Sometimes, just like physical health we need help as well and have the right to access good healthcare! 
  In school, we have a Therapeutic Team and a lot of amazing support staff who will always offer help, even if you don’t feel able to ask. We also have “I wish my teacher knew” boxes if you want to ask for someone else or yourself and our Eye2Eye counsellor Lydia every Thursday 💜

• Project Vote! Wales votes…

  Thu 07 May 2026

  Ty Gwyn went to the polls today!

  Pupils have reviewed the main party manifestos and created their own, they have shown great maturity and thought about the rights and needs of themselves, their contemporaries and children in less safe environments globally. 
  They have thought about things they want and need to be successful and happy in Wales, including no internet for under 12s! Very surprising!

• Meningitis advice from Public Health Wales

  Sat 21 Mar 2026

  Re: Meningitis awareness for educational settings

   

  You will be aware by now of the situation in Kent where a number of Meningitis B (MenB) cases have occurred and sadly two individuals have died. Public Health Wales have been liaising with UKHSA to ensure that appropriate guidance is provided to educational settings in Wales to assist during this evolving situation.

  Investigations have confirmed some of the cases visited Club Chemistry in Canterbury between 5 to 7 March 2026 prior to becoming unwell. UKHSA’s Health Protection Team is working closely with the nightclub and partners including the University of Kent to limit the spread including use of preventative antibiotics for potential close contacts.  UKHSA webpages give advice for those who have visited these settings during these dates. 

  Whilst there are no cases in Wales linked to this incident, it is important that individuals are aware of the signs and symptoms of Meningitis and Invasive Meningococcal Disease can rapidly progress from mild symptoms to severe illness. 

  Public Health Wales have developed some resources on Meningitis infection which students and staff may find useful to understand IMD and prevent onward transmission which are attached. This includes links to current vaccination recommendations in the UK which help protect against some strains of the disease. 

  Please follow this link to the Public Health Wales website for advice regarding symptoms and vaccines.

• CF44 Gym project with RCT YEPs presentation

  Fri 20 Mar 2026

  A small group of Y10 and 11 boys (the girls were invited) have worked for the last 8 weeks on a health and fitness programme with CF44 Gym and RCT YEPs. 
  The group had the opportunity to use all the gym equipment and were trained and supported to do so. The gym also has a juice bar and lots of healthy smoothies were enjoyed!

  There were sessions at Dragon’s Academy also and the pupils had the opportunity to gain a First Aid accreditation which is very valuable and maybe one day might save a

  life! 
  Well done to:

  Please read this article from Wales on Line, there are lots of articles on reliable sites such as the BBC, should you need more information.

  Remember social media sites, such as Facebook, are opinion and not fact based so not always reliable.
