Guess the amount of sweets in the jar. £1 per guess!! Dixons Cottingley Academy charity fundraiser kicks off today to raise money to support those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Don’t forget to bring in some change this week and help support a fantastic cause!!

We're all about making sure that every participant feels welcome and included, so the catering team at Outward Bound Aberdovey / Aberyfi and Ogwen have been preparing a pre-sunrise cooked breakfast to help support young people who are observing Ramadan.

We are so incredibly proud of our Year 10 students on their fantastic achievements as HB HG and DHB DHG well done!! #leadingchange #inspiringothers

Happy National Thank a Teacher Day! ⭐ The core of our community. We could not be more grateful for the effort and passion each and every one of our teachers puts in to ensuring they are creating better life chances for our students.
