Fantastic to see former student Tom captaining the Wales U20 rugby team against Scotland – and leading them to victory!

The entire Castell Alun community is incredibly proud of Tom’s achievements, and we’re all behind you as you continue your rugby journey.

♻️ Got used printer ink cartridges lying around?

Not only is it better for the environment, but in some cases, it can even help raise money for the school.

Let’s recycle smart!
