All pupils should arrive at school with:
🎒 A suitable school bag
✏️ A pencil case containing:
Black pens
Pencil
Ruler
Eraser
Highlighter

🏃 PE kit should be brought to school on the days pupils have PE.

🌟 OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to celebrate six of our highest-performing pupils, who have achieved an astonishing 66 A* grades between them! 🎓👏

This exceptional achievement reflects years of hard work, determination, resilience and commitment. Each of these young people has shown what can be achieved through consistently aiming high and giving their very best.

While today is a celebration of the achievements of every pupil, we couldn't let this remarkable accomplishment go unrecognised.

A huge congratulations to our six top performers – 66 A*s is something truly special! ⭐💙

We can't wait to see what the future holds for you all.

🎉 RESULTS DAY – CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉

What a fantastic morning celebrating the achievements of our pupils! 💙

Today is about so much more than the grades on a piece of paper. It represents years of hard work, determination, resilience and perseverance – and we are incredibly proud of every one of our young people.
There have been smiles, celebrations and plenty of proud moments as pupils opened their results and looked ahead to their next exciting chapter. 🌟

A huge thank you must also go to our dedicated staff, families and everyone who has supported our pupils throughout their journey.

To all of our pupils receiving results today: be proud of how far you have come and excited about where you are going next.
Whatever your next step – sixth form, college, an apprenticeship, training or employment – we wish you every success.

👏 Congratulations, Class of 2026!
Once Cyfarthfa, always Cyfarthfa. 💙🎓
