Today, we were very privileged to have a visit to the school from the new Minister for Education and Welsh Language in Wales, Mr Jeremy Miles. This was his first visit to a school in Carmarthenshire, and one of his first visits to a secondary school in Wales. During the visit we were able to share with him some of our recent successes, including our orchestra winning First Place in the Urdd Eisteddfod and Canolfan Elfed’s Silver Award in the Pearson National Teacher’s Awards.
