School of the week: Ysgol Ger y Llan

Published

on

school of the weekYsgol Ger y Llan is the best!

Ysgol Ger y Llan is in Letterston. There are 154 pupils in Ger y Llan. There are six classes and 25 staff. In 2012 we moved to a new building. It has a library, a football pitch, a big playground and under floor heating. Some of our favourite things about our school are that there are i-pads, the muga pitch and room for the orchestra to practice. Nearly all of Year 4 are part of the school choir. We enjoy providing fun and entertainment for the local community. Everyone in school is happy, nice and fun.

News at Ysgol Ger y Llan

At the end of last term two teams were successful in the first round of the Welsh book quiz. They will now represent the school in the second round which takes place during the Spring term. The Year 5 and 6 team read the “Yr CMM” (The BFG) and the year 3 and 4 team read “Dyddiadur Pwsi Peryglus”.

Last week PC Geoff Thomas visited school when he addressed Year 2, 3 and 5 classes. As usual the children enjoyed his visit and gained a great deal from his talk. During the Christmas holidays three boys from Ysgol Ger y Llan, namely Aled James, Yori Evans and Owain Morgan attended the Goodwick Brass Band annual dinner. At the dinner the boys were presented with a Rising Star certificate. Well done boys!

Plans submitted for disability-friendly bridge at Tenby train station

Published

on

TENBY railway station could soon see a new accessible footbridge, with Network Rail submitting plans to the National Park for the installation of an ‘Access for All’ bridge at the Grade-II-listed Victorian station.

The proposal aims to improve accessibility, providing an unobstructed route from at least one station entrance to all platforms via the new footbridge. A supporting statement from Network Rail explains that the scheme is designed to ensure step-free access between platforms, replacing the current barrow crossing, which is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “At Tenby Station, there is currently no obstacle-free accessible route between platforms 1 and 2. The existing barrow crossing does not provide suitable step-free access, and the proposed footbridge will address this issue.”

The plans, which include associated works to integrate the bridge with the historic station infrastructure, are now under consideration by the National Park authority. If approved, the scheme will mark a significant improvement in accessibility for passengers at the popular seaside station.
