THE URDD CELEBRATES ITS 90TH BIRTHDAY

» This year the Urdd is celebrating it's 90th year since being established by Syr Ifan ab Owen Edwards - the same gentleman who established our school. We held a big party with the school children dressed in red, white and green, as well as over 500 cupcakes making the enormous Urdd logo in the hall.
