Most pupils will now transition to the Garth Olwg Senior School in September to study A Level and BTEC courses.

Headteacher of Ysgol Garth Olwg, Trystan Edwards, said:
“Many congratulations to the pupils who have overcome many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pupils have had to learn from home during two extended lockdowns as well as periods of self-isolation and today is a celebration of their resilience and perseverance. The staff have provided the best possible support for our pupils, and everyone has worked together as one community to ensure these outstanding outcomes for the pupils during an unprecedented time for education in Wales and beyond. I also take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the parents, carers and families for their great support.
We very much look forward to welcoming many of the pupils back to Garth Olwg Senior School to continue their studies in September.”
