Okay, short, short version. Rhianon did a fantastic job as cabinet member for education and now she’s stepped down to be an Assembly Member. Last week, I visited Heolddu Comprehensive School, which has benefited from a new technology block thanks to Welsh Government funding, and Kirsty Williams was there to open it, and it was a great occasion—’I bawb ei gyfle’ is the motto of the school. Finally, twenty-first century schools has led to the building of Y Gwyndy in Caerphilly town, the new campus of Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, Cwm Ifor Primary School in Penyrheol, and Greenhill Primary School in Gelligaer, which is where I live, and it is fantastic to welcome twenty-first century schools. What a great programme; absolutely wonderful.
