Street Doctors Delivered by Rachel from our local youth service, the Street Doctors programme provided pupils with vital, real-life skills that could make a difference in emergency situations. The sessions focused on the dangers of knife crime, how to respond effectively in a crisis, and essential first aid knowledge. Pupils learned how to perform CPR, check for breathing, and respond calmly and safely in potentially life-threatening situations, equipping them with confidence and practical skills for the future.

Cynefin As part of our Cynefin work, pupils explored the rich industrial heritage of our local area through engaging field trips to Sirhowy Ironworks and Bedwellty House. They learned why our towns are nestled deep within the valleys and how the iron and coal industries shaped not only Blaenau Gwent, but had a global impact. From producing materials that helped build the railroads of the American Wild West to the bricks that constructed the towering skyscrapers of New York, pupils gained a powerful understanding of how our local history connects to the wider world.

Army Visit We were delighted to welcome our local Army Community Officers, who delivered an engaging and informative day for our pupils. They shared valuable insights into life in the Army, including the wide range of career pathways available and the skills required to succeed. Pupils had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the benefits and experiences that come with a career in the armed forces, making it an inspiring and memorable visit.
