THROUGH your letters page, I would like to pay tribute to the pupils and staff of Risca Community Comprehensive School and Cwmcarn High School for their outstanding achievements in this year’s GCSE and A-Level examinations.
The pupils at Risca achieved, for the second year running, their best recorded GCSE results and the school has also seen another increase in all of its set performance indicators.
Results at Cwmcarn can also be seen as remarkable considering the extremely difficult situation the pupils and staff have been placed in with the temporary closure of their school and pupils having to travel eleven miles out of county for their learning.
Well done to every one of you.
Cllr Dave Rees Risca West Ward
