This is stunning hypocrisy on the part of the Councillor for Alltwen where pupils will remain in older buildings without access to such modern advantages - not to mention Godrergraig pupils in temporary buildings for the foreseeable future.

Fabulous opportunities are available at the new 21st Century Abbey School for the young people attending this excellent facility.
Shameful that recent Coalition decisions deny the opportunity to “thrive and reach their full potential” to pupils in the Swansea Valley

Reality of the situation, outlined well in this article. “No school, no pool, no plan”.
What are the prospects for the educational future of our Swansea Valley children? We will continue to seek answers from the Coalition Leadership.

I'm pleased that NEU members have voted to accept the enhanced pay offer. This is good news for pupils, parents and teachers.
I want to thank unions and local authorities for engaging positively in the negotiations. I look forward to working together on workload-related issues.

Give food to the hungry, Today's King tomorrow's beggar. Took this image back in 2008 while in Bangladesh. This elderly poor man had nothing but at the same time had everything, full of contentment. Always appreciate the little things in life.
