Year 13 student and Head Boy, Dylan, attended the WJEC Innocation Awards in the Senedd yesterday. With over 1,000 students undertaking AS design and technology last year, this is a highly competitive field. We are proud that Dylan secured second place. Congratulations, Dylan! 🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/FTX7orfoKO— StJohnsAberdare () December 13, 2024

It has been a pleasure to take part in the Christmas Card Appeal this year.

“I absolutely loved St Johns. It really was the best school I could have wished to go to. The teachers were fantastic as well as the atmosphere. I am still in contact with all my old friends. It is a school where you make friends for life! When I get married next year, two of my bridesmaids are girls that were in my class in school" (Past pupil)
