We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded our BRONZE Armed Forces Friendly Schools' Award @SSCECymru @CaerphillyCBC @FceGyg

Shows what a fantastic job schools in Wales have done for 2 years under immense pressure, and what they had always done before that. Wellbeing should always remain at the heart of any education system. Let’s hope the government use these findings to invest where they should.

@aberdarejack Force it down you mun! 🙄🤣 🍻

My least favourite on the Blade...taken me 2 weeks to drink just a few points. Pre match derby nerves so I'm hoping to smash it tonight!!

@AberdareTown And he was their Asst Manager, stepping in for their injured keeper! 🙈

The home keeper has pulled off three worldies this afternoon 👏

@Tf1tz @AberdareTown @grangealbion We can’t thank you enough for giving Brychan the opportunity tonight. Glad he did you proud. It’s a dream come true for him and we’re all bouncing for him and the team! #uppatown 💪🏼

There is no prouder Mam tonight! 🎉👏🏻

@Tf1tz Thank you for giving Brychan the opportunity - he was thrilled! ☺️⚽️💪🏼

And another huge plus today was the inclusion of two of our Under 19s players who were playing in U16 last time out.

It's easy to look sharp if you haven't done any work. 💯

The impact of a teacher lasts a lifetime.

@AlecPBS Ysgol Gyfun Gilead? 🤔

I do hope this utter nonsense will pass. He seriously needs to listen to himself. Or perhaps move to China? Rage - I say, rage!

I’ve written to my colleagues in schools today for the last time as Education Minister. This has been the best job I've ever had. All jobs are important, but being Minister for Education in Wales, supporting development of our new curriculum, has been the job of a lifetime.

Please could any 2 of my followers just copy and repost? This pandemic is especially hard for people with depression. Samaritans 116 123 Just two. Any two. Say done.

@AlecPBS Done

One of our school leaders in Wales was asked to submit three priorities for his school in the forthcoming year. My advice? 1. Today 2. Tomorrow 3. The next day. That’s as far as we can go at the moment. This is crisis leadership.

Another U-Turn.

Yet another U-turn. This is no longer about whether you are left, right, Marxist or far right. This is about competence, making the decision you believe is correct and standing by it. This is by far the worst government I've known in my 31 years. They are bringing shame to the UK

But what if... governments decide otherwise?
