Barry Comprehensive School

On 29 th June, at The Jury’s Hotel, in Cardiff, a very special event took place for Barry Sixth Form. The evening celebrated the end of their school lives, after two years of hard work, studying for their ‘A’ Levels.

Over a hundred students from both Bryn Hafren and Barry Comprehensive joined together to look back at their school days and indulge in a spot of nostalgia. As this was probably the last time a lot of them would meet, before their journey to further education, ball gowns and tuxedos were hired, limousines ordered and their dancing shoes at the ready.

‘A’ Level teachers from both sites were given a special invitation to join the students and a great time was had by all.

Headboy and girl from Barry Comprehensive, Ben Coates and Lindsay Hewitt, delivered their double-act speech confidently, amusing the audience with little anecdotes of incidents past and present. Tim Doyle and Stacey Baird from Bryn Hafren spoke equally well and all received deserving applause and congratulations on their insights of Barry Sixth Form.

It was great to see so many Barry Sixth Formers looking so elegant and mature in their fabulous outfits. Most stylish dresser of the evening had to be Tom Weaving in his Italian grey leather shoes with matching dickie-bow and cumber band, he walked in looking like a rock-star! It was truly a red carpet evening! This was a Valedictory Dinner-Dance to be remembered. Great company, good food and wine, what better way to complete the best days of your life, as their parents would say!

We wish them all success and happiness as they move on to the next stage of their lives at University and Colleges around the country.

Barry Sixth Form, we are proud to have known you and hope you will all keep in touch in the years ahead.

Goodbye and Goodluck
