Significant Locations Around The School
Llwyd Canteen Llwyd Canteen is now the only area available for students and teachers to buy food and drinks. The canteen serves both hot and cold food and has a variety of vending machines so that students may purchase food even when the canteen is not open. The canteen is dependent on the school's internal debit card system, with students topping up their accounts in Llwyd and Usk blocks via simple ATMs.
Sixth Form Study Area (Formerly Usk Canteen) The 6th Form has expanded to 300 students and funds from the Welsh Assembly Government have helped the school build a new 6th Form Study Centre, which opened in September 2009. This has a number of uses but its primary use is as an additional study area for the school's Sixth Form. However, it is also used as an exam hall and as a classroom. The Sixth Form Area is located in Usk Block and is the only part of school that younger students are denied access to. The Sixth Form Area contains a common room, a class room, two offices and toilets. The area also includes a garden.
Learning Resource Centre The Learning Resource Centre has two purposes, it is a library and a computer room that the entire school can access at break and lunch times. Teachers can book the area for their classes at all times with the exception of 1st Period where the area is strictly for Sixth Form use only. At all other times any student may use the facilities, but during break and lunch times, Sixth Form take priority over all other year groups.

Famous quotes containing the words the school, significant and/or school:
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
