Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 10 May 2017.
Well, Presiding Officer, the Member is right: this significant investment has indeed provided the learners at Islwyn High with what is a state-of-the-art school building. The new learning environment provides pupils with the best facilities, affording them the best opportunity to maximise their potential. For the teachers in the school, it provides the platform for them to drive forward improved educational outcomes. I understand that pupils will move into the school at the beginning of July, and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to see for myself the difference that that new school building will make to the learning opportunities of that community.
