The Welsh Language

We are a unique school, as we are the only Welsh medium secondary school in Caerphilly County Borough. All pupils will be encouraged strongly to communicate with each other in Welsh, and to enjoy extra-curricular events that celebrate the use of the language. Parental involvement and encouragement for their children to speak Welsh as often as possible is essential.

There are several ways students can be supported:-

Through involvement in the Urdd.
Via Menter Iaith Caerffili (the Caerphilly Welsh Language Initiative).
By watching Welsh television and listening to radio programmes.
Using Welsh language books and magazines.
As a parent you too could learn Welsh in evening classes.

Uniform

One advantage of school uniform is to ensure that everyone looks similar whilst avoiding drawing attention.

In an effort to improve the supply of school uniform to parents or guardians, our school has become involved with Trutex School Link.

Through its School Link service you are now able to purchase all our school uniform, and as an added advantage, the product will be delivered directly to your home (or speciﬁed address). Details speciﬁc to our school are within the School Link brochure. School Link supplies items of our school uniform throughout the year, at competitive prices, and at no extra cost. POSTAGE, PACKAGING and RETURNS are FREE.

Should you require information on the exact details of our uniform and sizing information, Trutex has a Helpline that will be able to assist you. Please call 01200 421206 for details.
