Lab in a Lorry visited the school last week, an interactive mobile science laboratory which gives young people the opportunity to explore science through open ended experiments. Guided by volunteers who are scientists and engineers from industry and academia, the students relished the opportunity to work with ‘real’ scientists. 

The Lab was fitted with three distinct lab areas where groups of students took part in each of the fun and informative experiments. Everyone got to try their hand at experimental science and think about the surprises and questions that arose. We would like to thank James, Josie and the rest of the crew, along with the Institute of Physics for providing such excellent opportunities for the students.

We are pleased to see that Rhydywaun’s pupils have performed well in the first set of new GCSE examinations. Pupils have reached their potential and results are very encouraging.

We are very pleased with the achievements of all our students but we would like to note the following individual results:

Owain Birrell              9A*, 3A

Emily Ellis                  3A*, 5A, 3B, 1C

Brogan Jones              2A*, 6A, 4B

Lowri Jade Jones         2A*, 8A, 1B, 1C

Morgan Mellin             7A*, 4A, 1B

Rhiannon Parry            1A*, 7A, 4B

Eve Price                      9A*, 3A

Elis Roome                   2A*, 6A, 3B, 1C

Darya Williams             2A*, 7A, 4B

We look forward to welcoming over two thirds of our students back to follow sixth form courses.

Many thanks to staff and students for their efforts over the past few months.
