Article written by Laura Smith Head Girl. (Pictured: George Lee, Zoe Roberts, Laura Smith and Yegor Young). Pupils entertain Llantwit Senior Citizens at Christmas Tea Party On Wednesday 12 December members of our local community, both young and old, came together for Llantwit Major School’s annual Christmas senior citizens tea party. The event gave pupils in the school an opportunity to invite local senior citizen groups to school for an afternoon tea party that included a variety show, performed by pupils of the school, and then climaxed with the giving of Christmas hampers to all invited guests. Year 10 Health & Social Group baked the cakes Form classes in all year groups created 40 elaborately designed hampers after collecting appropriate products to fill them with. Pupils studying BTEC Health & Social Care created and served all the food and drink for the event. The entertainment of dance, gymnastics song and musical accompaniment was also provided entirely by pupils. A special mention should go to pupils in forms 8MAM and 11ST who won the ‘best overall best hamper’ and ‘best designed hamper’ prizes respectively. Music Department News! A very cold but none the less very welcoming St Illtyd’s church was the scene of the annual Christmas Carol Service on 11 December. Despite the cold, pupils from Years 7 -13 enthusiastically performed a variety of seasonal songs and instrumental pieces to a packed congregation. The Music Department would like to thank all the pupils who braved the weather at both the rehearsal and the performance to perform so well. A special thanks to all the staff who gave of their time to sing, play or read in the service. The following day, a number of our pupils also went on to perform a selection of pieces as part of the entertainment during the Christmas lunch and hamper presentation for local pensioners. Students ‘Smash’ their Welsh Baccalaureate! “Well done year 12-you smashed it!” This was the message from Miss Rhiannon Carr leader of learning of the Welsh Baccalaureate to her enterprising year 12 students. The Fayre was a resounding success as the students exceeded all of our expectations. “The enthusiasm and commitment they have shown to ensure that this event was a success is a true reflection of their strength of character. I know they gained and learned a huge amount from this experience and I’d like to pass on my thanks to everybody who contributed in any way. The list is endless”. Local businesses were very generous, school staff were supportive and of course huge thanks go out to all the people who came to support us on the day. We shall be celebrating our achievements during an assembly on Wednesday and we’ll also be inviting in representatives from both the Children’s Heart Foundation and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust as these are the chosen charities who will receive the profits from the enterprise. Many thanks to the Spar, Coop, Toymaster, Sunkissed, Major Nails, The Off Licence, Greggs, Coop Pharmacy, Boots, Health Conscious, Pastures Green, Peace and Hope, Ben’s Barbers and The Hair Studio and the Rotary for their very generous donations. Dr Browne, headteacher commented that he was “delighted that the sixth form students had put such an effort into making the fayre the success that it was and also that their efforts would be rewarded in forming part of the accreditation for the very valuable Welsh Baccalaureate qualification that they are all undertaking”. Fundraising Presentation “Thank you so very much,” was the message from the representative of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Children’s Heart Federation. Both guests were welcomed to the senior assembly on Friday 22 January where they were each presented with a cheque for £350. Our proud year 12 Welsh Baccalaureate students were well applauded for their record breaking fund raising efforts in December which was all part of the Llantwit Major School Christmas Fayre. This Welsh Baccalaureate event provides our students with the opportunity to experiment with entrepreneurial skills, explore the mechanics of working with others and raise much needed funds for charities. We’re sure that both the Children’s Heart Foundation and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust will have plenty of ways of using their donations and we would like to thank Carolyn and Chris for attending the assembly. So our current year 11’s who have expressed a desire to join our buoyant 6th form have a formidable target to beat. Anybody who is considering a learning journey through any 6th form would be well advised to look at the opportunities available to you at Llantwit Major School. The Welsh Baccalaureate programme is going from strength to strength. The implementation of the grading scheme will ensure that each of you receives the grade you’ve worked so hard to achieve; be it A* to C. Please see Miss Carr if you have any questions about this qualification and the real hands on experience it offers. It’s highly valued by employers and gives you a real sense of achievement as you tick off each challenge you achieve. Yr 11 Health and Social Care Our wonderful year 11 health and social care girls have raised funds for Oxfam. They saved up their spare change over the past couple of months and have managed to raise enough to provide a gift of water for 20 people. Well done girls! More successful fundraising by the PTA The PTA have been working hard to raise extra funds to support developments for pupils within the school. The members have recently been running a café at the school’s parents evenings, and ran a teddy tombola stall at the 6th Form Christmas fete. The involvement of pupils in supporting events has been significantly increased via the work of 6th Form pupil Lantianna Darter. Lantianna helped with the promotion of the collection of teddies through the Geography department, and is recruiting pupils to serve staff during the parents evenings. The most recent donations have gone to the music department for a new drum kit, and to the Geography department to buy more field work equipment (eg laminated local maps, flow meters and clinometers). As part of the continuing Eco work at the school we are running another Bag 2 School collection on Monday 8 July and any donations will be gratefully received. Please save your unwanted clothes, bags, shoes and soft toys and bring them to the school either in a ‘Bag 2 School’ bag or any plastic bag. Bags can be brought in to the school’s main office anytime in the week before collection. Art Pupils design new school flag! Last year a group of talented Llantwit Major Art pupils were offered the opportunity to work with professional graphic designers from United Graphic Design from Bridgend to create a new school flag. The Art students used their creative skills in ICT and design with guidance from United Graphic Design to develop and produce the final successful outcome now flying proudly in front of Llantwit Major School. ROTARY YOUNG CHEF SOUTHERN WALES FINAL! Local young chef, Chelsea Dawes of Llantwit Major School has won a place in the next round of the Rotary Young Chef competition. A tightly fought contest for the Southern Wales District was hosted by Builth Wells High School. Jodie Jackson (sponsored by the Builth Wells Club) was declared the winner and Chelsea Dawes (sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cowbridge) the runner-up. Both competitors go forward to the Regional Final to be held at Rugby College on Saturday 16 March to com- pete for a place in the National Final. Chief judge Peter James who owns the Drover’s Arms Restaurant in Llanwrtyd Wells and runs the J & R cookery school, commented on the excellent quality of the meals prepared and added, “Careers in the catering industry should be seriously considered by some of the contestants.” Rotary District Governor Bob Lewis echoed Peter’s comments and said that the students and their parents should be very proud of what they had achieved. Some examples of Chelsea’s winning dishes over the last two months! Pupils show off their baking skills for Children in Need Congratulations to the pupils in the Home Economics department who worked really hard on Friday making and selling cakes in aid of Children in Need. Staff and pupils all agreed that the cakes were delicious and their efforts were rewarded by making a grand profit of £132. Well done! World Book Day The English Department celebrated World Book Day on 7 March.

  • Western Vale
    Community Profile – Western Vale Introduction For the purposes of the Well-being Assessment and to gain a better understanding of our communities in the Vale of Glamorgan we have divided the area in to three communities, Barry, Western Vale and Eastern Vale. These community profiles have been developed to complement the Vale of Glamorgan profile and we will continue to enhance these profiles as part of our ongoing engagement through the Public Services Board. The profile brings together a range of information about the area including population data, details of projects and assets within the community, it is not intended to be a directory of services but provides some key information about the area The purpose of this community profile is to provide information with regards to key statistics and projects in the area and to highlight the many assets within the Vale of Glamorgan, ranging from natural assets, community groups and services. It is intended that further work will be undertaken to enhance the community profiles for the Vale of Glamorgan and each of the three community areas, Barry, the Eastern Vale and the Western Vale. This will include key findings from across the assessment for the community and where possible identification of gaps and areas for improvement. Feedback on the profiles is welcome so that they can continue to be developed as an important resource for the area and evidence base for the work of the Public Services Board. 1 This community profile focuses on the Western Vale as detailed in the map below and the area is made up of the following wards: St.

Welcome to Cardiff! Dear Conference delegate, I’d like to welcome you to this 63rd Conference of the Political Studies Association, held in Cardiff for the first time and hosted by the University of Cardiff. We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner.

Port Development 22 4. Immigration and Emigration 34 5. Shipwrecks and Preservation 41 6. Life and Work 49 7. Further Reading 56 3 Foreword The Bristol Channel was for many centuries one of the most important waterways of the World. Its ports had important trading connections with areas on every continent. Bristol, a well-established medieval port, grew rich on the expansion of the British Empire from the seventeenth century onwards, including the profits of the slave trade. The insatiable demand for Welsh steam coal in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gave the ports of south Wales an importance in global energy supplies comparable to that of the Persian Gulf ports today. There was also much maritime activity within the confines of the Channel itself, with small sailing vessels coming to south Wales from Devon and Somerset to load coal and limestone, pilot cutters sailing out to meet incoming vessels and paddle steamers taking Bristolians and Cardiffians alike for a day out in the bracing breezes of the Severn Sea. By today, most of this activity has disappeared, and the sea and its trade no longer play such an integral part in the commercial activity of places such as Bristol and Cardiff. Indeed, it is likely that more people now go out on the Severn Sea for pleasure rather than for profit. We cannot and must not forget, however, that the sea has shaped our past, and knowing about, and understanding that process should be the birthright of every child who lives along the Bristol Channel today – on whichever side! That is why I welcome this pioneering resource pack, and I hope that it will find widespread use in schools throughout the area.

  • County Treasures Project Was Published by the Then South Glamorgan County Council in the Late 1970’S

Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.
