To our lovely pupils and their parents. School has been suspended for a reason. You must be socially distancing and staying at home wherever possible. This time off is not to have a holiday; this is to save lives. Please share.
What a proud school we are. Some lovely results but most importantly some outstandingly lovely young people. You can have all the grades in the world but compassion, humility and manners mean more than anything. Our future is brighter because you are in it.

We are an excellent school. The system has given us our worst A Level Maths results in the history of the school. It has already cost many their uni place.Hopefully the detail will allow our pupils the result they would have got in their exam.
Well Y Pant pupils, you did yourselves, your parents and us proud today. Thank you for being respectful in our community and working with us to make it as safe as possible.

And so we saw Year 10 today - it was lovely to see them and we hope they liked seeing us! For some it was the first time in a while that they had been up before 12!😬 See you tomorrow Year 9!
Lovely to see one of our Year 13 students, Anastasia O’Reilly delivering medicines in Pontyclun and beyond for Anne Williams Pharmacy. Anastasia is an amazing student and great to see her helping her local community.

Inspired by our very own Mr Beckett, Sam Griffiths (Year 7 student) has been experimenting with making his own PPE using his 3D printer at home. A very thoughtful young man that reflects the ethos and community spirit of our area and school.

A group of our key worker children were in school today and they were absolutely fantastic. They showed maturity far beyond their years and were a credit to their families. An amazing group of young people. We hope they enjoyed the activities we provided.
