'Faith in the World' Sixth Form Conference

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Church of England Education Division hosted an A-Level conference entitled ‘Faith in the World’ and our school was invited to attend.  We accepted the invitation with enthusiasm, and our A Level Religious Studies students who attended were very pleased to represent Church-in-Wales schools at this event. The aim of the conference was to encourage students taking A-Level Religious Studies to engage with the speakers and each other on the implications of faith for society today.

Success in the World School Games

A very modest pupil returned from the World School Games in Qatar with a brilliant 4th place in the Individual Gymnastics Event.

This is an outstanding achievement considering there were over 50 competitors from around the world.  She also excelled in the Team Event with little Wales finishing in second place behind the Russian team.

She has a remarkable talent in Gymnastics and we wish her good luck for all future events.

The Cardiff Stop Bullying Awards (CSBA) are presented in acknowledgement of the continued commitment and work undertaken in schools to prevent bullying behaviours. The award recognises the dedication of pupils, teachers and Governors to creating an environment where all feel secure, valued and happy.
