Another student of note is our last year’s Head Student, Lydia Lewis, who gained 3 As and also a Merit in the Advanced Extension Award in History. Lydia is away travelling at the beginning of her gap year, after which she hopes to read History and Politics at university. She is a member of the Save the Children Welsh Youth Panel and has been elected by her peers on to the Global Save the Children Youth Panel. She is the first representative in this new initiative from Save the Children, the idea behind the panel being to allow young people to have a voice and to advise Save the Children on key issues and programmes in order to improve the lives of children.
