Congratulations to all our Year 13 students for their well-deserved success in their A Level, BTEC and Welsh Baccalaureate exams and qualifications this year. The excellent results achieved is a tribute to their ability, endeavour, dedication and perseverance over the past two unprecedented and extremely challenging years. We are extremely proud of the attainment of every one of our students. We wish every student well as they progress to the next exciting period in their lives.
The majority of our students who applied for Higher Education courses have been accepted to the Universities of their choice.
I am indebted to my staff for preparing their students so well for their A level, Welsh Baccalaureate and BTEC qualifications and who take so much pride in the achievements of their students.

Here are a few documents to share with you regarding the latest developments;
Each pupil has an account (generally Firstname.SurnameStartingYear e.g. Joe.Bloggs19) and e-mail addresses (This email address is being protected from spambots.

This same account name and password (Joe.Bloggs19) is what's used to login to both Edulink and Moodle.
To login to the e-mail accounts you'll need to go here, add @ysgolplasmawr.cymru and still use the same password.
This password can only be changed on the schools network, if it really needs to be changed please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. using an e-mail address that matches what we have on our system.
Hwb
Students Hwb credentials have been sent to their e-mail, if they login to their school e-mail and search for 'Manylion Hwb' they should find them, please be sure to check the 'Deleted items' folder!

This document includes broad details of the forthcoming residential visits arranged by the school for the academic 2020-22 years. We aim to offer a variety of educational experiences based on a series of principles agreed by the Governors i.e. equal opportunities, educational value and an awareness of environmental issues. I am grateful to the school staff that are prepared to lead residential trips at a time when nationally educational visits are becoming more and more un-common.
We're raising money to buy a sound-mixing desk and microphones for the school's concerts, drama productions, eisteddfods, school meetings and more! Owning this equipment would save us the £2,500 plus that it now costs us every time we need to hire a sound desk - as well as the cost of hiring sound desk technicians. We will use the desk to teach pupils sound-mixing skills (for instance, as part of our music and drama courses). It will be great to see them mixing the sound for our school events! So let's aim to have our own sound desk in place for next spring's production of Billy Elliot! Our kids will sound great on stage! The entire school community will benefit from this investment - and it will help us raise money for Plasmawr by having the equipment we need to attract more people to hire our hall for their events.
