We were elected to serve on the council by our
classmates in May 2005.
This is us working on our first project a safer
routes to school plan.
Here we are carrying out research outside the
local public house.
Mr Davies never lets us spend break times in
here!

Cwmdare
5
Our school is situated on the outskirts of the
beautiful Dare Valley Country Park.
The village of Cwmdare originally sprang up
around its coal mine, which has now long been
closed.
6
In recent years Cwmdare has expanded rapidly.
Our pupils are drawn from a catchment area made
up of a small council estate, traditional valley
terraced houses and several smaller new housing
estates.

English is the predominant language spoken in the
village, although some Welsh can be heard amongst
the older generation.
