Fundraising campaign: for a new sound desk

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.

And thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause. It means so much to us!

Congratulations to all our Year 11 pupils who have performed extremely well in their GCSE and BTEC studies and have attained an excellent set of results, amongst the best in the school’s 20 year history. It has been a particularly challenging year for all which makes these set of results particularly impressive.

A big thank you to all the staff who have worked tirelessly throughout the year in ensuring that our pupils are given every opportunity to succeed.

Every individual has a story to tell and several pupils have faced ill-health and other difficulties in order to be able to sit their exams. I would like to congratulate every individual pupil whatever their results and offer everyone our best wishes as they prepare to enter a new and exciting chapter in their lives.

The following pupils have performed exceptionally well and have attained a remarkable 9 or more A* grades: Anellie Beare, Eleri Davies, Rachel Davies, Catrin John, Cadi Jones, Twm Richards, Steffan Rowlands, Rebecca Saunders, Rhiannon Spannaus, Elin Williams.

We are also extremely proud of the fact that 30% of the year group have attained 5 or more A* and A grades, and 87% of the year group have attained 5 or more A*- C grades across all subjects. Well done to all!
