 Thursday 10th May
New Welsh Government policy states that schools should only grant study leave sparingly and this should not exceed 15 days. We have always used lessons during the examination period for teachers to deliver additional revision. This will continue this year as normal and in this sense additional study is available to all examination pupils throughout the exams. All pupils should use this time effectively and teachers will provide the additional support and advice necessary to assist each pupil.
We wish all pupils the very best as they prepare for the examinations ahead and look forward to celebrating success together in August.
A Level results - 16th August

 Year 7 have produced some outstanding work this year, their task being to design an outfit which features elements of their favourite artist’s work.
Adam jones and Megan Owen are just two examples of hard work and dedication. Adam chose Pablo Picasso’s Still Life with skull, leek and pitcher. The skull was used on a hat and he designed a suit that included colours from one of his favourite pieces while the leek featured as a lapel badge. Megan used Andy Warhol’s work on tomato soup and had images printed onto t-shirts.
There are a lot of different art methods involved in reaching their final design and if you would like to see photos (by Hannah Davies) of their work please follow the gallery link. |

 The Under 13 Rugby team came third in the district 7’s rugby tournament. The boys who were captained by Rhodri Smith, won four, drew one and lost one of their six matches. The first game was against Hawthorn High School, to which the boys won 21-0. The next game was another convincing performance against Y-Pant which the boys won 29-0. The boys then came up against stiff opposition and drew the match to eventual tournament winners Cardinal Newman, 7-7.

 Messages of congratulations, farewell and good luck were the feature of Friday’s Record of Achievement Assembly for our Year 11 pupils this week.
It’s always an emotional time when Year 11 take the next step on their learning pathway, whether it be to college, employment or a return to the Sixth Form at Ponty High, but each year it is celebrated with an assembly that looks back on the journey from year 7. Each Form Tutor made a speech to their classes with mentions to each individual, there was even a “Rap” message from Mrs Cooper who also took the mic accompanying the year 11 rock band in song!

 Congratulations to Jacob Sully (Year 11) and Will Thomas (Year 13) for achieving third place in the Saturday night finals of Britain's Got Talent.
The boys are members of Welsh Choir Only Boys Aloud who stole the show on their first audition night with a stirring rendition of Calon Lan bringing the judges and the audience to their feet. This sent them through to the semi finals where once again, in true welsh tradition, their outstanding performance of the Welsh anthem Gwahoddiad earned them another standing ovation by the judges and a secured place in the final.
This is a fantastic achievement, you did yourselves and Wales proud! |
