“What better example of this than the school council who asked me questions such as about public transport, community safety, and finance.

“From the hustle and bustle of Auntie Megan’s kitchen to the quiet sanctuary which pupils can turn to so to unwind in tranquillity, the school is a thriving community which all of us should be proud of.

“I congratulate everyone involved in ensuring that the young people of Llanrwst are given a brilliant educational foundation.”
