Would it be possiblr for a GCSE calendar of exam dates to be published 2011 or where to find the link please?
As soon as the calendar is finalised we will publish it on the website.
You may also find the following link useful – it has all exam dates and times across all exam boards. If you click ‘Accept’ on the home page, you will then be sent through to a search which will allow you to compile and print exam timetables for the whole season, though some practical exams etc. may not be on there.

Thanks very much Matthew – very useful site!
Once all our exam entries are complete – we will still publish the school exam timetable here. Different exam boards have their exams on different days and of course there’s the extra level of confusion generated because some subjects then have different papers.
Is there any information online regarding catchment areas please?
We hope to have the updated prospectus on the website (which includes information about feeder primaries and catchment) very soon. In the meantime, if you phone the school directly on 01443 237701 someone will be able to answer your question.
There seems to be some confusion about Year 9 options evening.On this website it clearly states this will take place on Wed March 9th,so having left my diary clear,I am quite concerned that I have been told that it has already taken place this month.Can you please clarify. Thanks.
Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy. Yes the options evening took place last Wednesday. I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused. Information about ALL options will be available on the website in the next day or so.
All year 9 pupils were given a letter with the correct date of the options evening beforehand.
Please could you let me know when the exam timetables will be published for Year 8 and Year 10 pupils.
Many Thanks
Please could you tell me what is required for the art set for year 7 starters.
Many Thanks
The Art Pack can be bought as a pre-made pack at a discount price from school. I will ask Mrs J Gold, Head of Art to advise on the price and contents at the beginning of term.
we have lost uniform all with names is it possible for the parents to look through lost property have lost a coat and pant fleece amongst other items.
Lost property is kept in reception. Please ask in reception and they will be able to help you.
Can I ask why pupils have been asked to list ALL daily subjects in their homework diaries, when there is may not be any homework in some of those subjects?
Apparently they have been told not to “argue” the case, but to just do it.
In some cases I’d agree with this, but in this case it seems to be a futile exercise.
Can they just list the subjects they have homework in…surely that would be more sensible, and would mean that the already limited space in the PLK wouldn’t be taken up unnecessarily.
We have found that in many cases pupils were not recording homework in their PLK. Writing in the names of the subjects has resolved this problem for many pupils. It has also provided pupils with a more immediate reminder of which timetable week we are currently in as “wrong week” is the main reason for pupil forgetting books.
hi can you tell me what time the sking trip will be leaving thank you
You will have to speak to the teacher’s running the ski trip about that – I will see if I can find out.
Great to see 3 of our teams making it to the Welsh Schools Football Finals. Well Done !

Actually it’s 4 teams that are through ! 2boys teams and 2 girls teams.
I’m currently looking to book a holiday during term time week commencing July 9th for one week and will be requesting permission for my daughters absence during this time. However I do not want her to miss any important tests\exams… Will they be finished by this time?? This will not be a regular occurance. Eargerly awaiting your reply many thanks Lisa.
Lisa
You will need to contact your daughter’s Head of Year directly to find out about exam dates.
Can you please advise what is happening regarding Work Experience.
My son is currently in Year 10 – so I assume it is taken in Year 11?
What is the process for getting them a position somewhere as I have an opportunity that I am able to apply for for him but need dates.
Thanks
I will ask Mr Duggan to advise you about this.
HI HOW DO U CONTACT THE SCHOOL USEING INTERNET TO BOOK A ABSENCE PLEASE
An absence due to illness must be phoned in to the office on 01443 237701 and followed up with a written note. A planned absence for family holiday must be on an absence form which the head of year can provide you with.
Hi. On the Y Pant website calendar, it states that Friday 24th May 2013 is the “official leaving date” for years 11, 12 and 13.
My stepson is in Year 11 and is due to take GCSE exams, so can you confirm that this “leaving date” is correct – it will enable us to plan any potential holiday dates. Thanks.
This is the correct date. Welsh Government rules now state that we cannot give students study leave prior to exams. There will be exams before this date and students will be released from lessons for these. Before planning holidays please also bear in mind that the GCSE, AS and A-level exams continue after half term as well. Many exams take place towards the end of June. We don’t yet have the exam timetable for the summer but will publish this when we do.
Hi Miss Bunce,
Could you kindly confirm if you have an update on GCSE exam dates for year 11′s please.
Many thanks
I don’t yet have the GCSE exam dates – hopefully they will be up soon.
That’s great. Thank you
Hello
I missed year 9 parents evening due to being stuck in traffic. Is there any possibility of speaking to or emailing my daughter’s teachers to discuss her progress?
Thanks
Please contact the Head of Year, Mrs Mortimer about this. She will be able to advise.
I wish to take my daughter of year 7 abroad on holiday from half day 8th May to return to school -16 May, but I don’t want her to miss out on any vital tests/exams! Please could you advise if these dates are appropriate, as I would like to book it today if possible not to miss out on such a great holiday! Many thanks.
Dates for tests for year 7 are not confirmed yet. You can see anything that has been confirmed on the calendar. Any requests for time off for family holidays must be made in writing to the Headteacher.
Hi there, Do you hire out your sports hall? I am looking to hire a sports facility for my local adult netball team? We need a training venue. Thank you!
I have asked the bursar, Mr Gowman to get back to you.
Hello, my daughter is due to start high school in September 2015, whilst I appreciate it’s premature, I was wondering how I would go about putting her down for Y Pant. We live in Tonyrefail, so are we out of the catchment area? Many Thanks
Hello
Tonyrefail is not in the Y Pant natural catchment area but this does not prevent you from applying. Please refer to the Admissions Dept in RCT for any issues relating to application (although it is, as you point out, still early days!)
Regards
Mark Powell (Headteacher)
Many thanks for your prompt reply
