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. #BrilliantPupils

@wgmin_education @quals_wales @wjec_cbac 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.
