dragon paradeAt the St David’s Day celebrations on Cross Square, with the primary schools’ dragon parade,  the Bishop’s blessing and the singing of the national anthem to the sound of  Ysgol Dewi Sant brass band,  the St Davids schools for the future campaign kicked off with a plea for people to “tell 10 friends”  and help the whole community have a say in the future of our schools.

“What St Davids schools for the future is about is coming together as a community around an imaginative, realistic proposal for the future of education here on the peninsula.”  said steering group chair, Paul Howe of St Nicholas,  “The steering group is working hard to find out what works in other rural communities, the relevant facts of Welsh Government policy, and what ideas might give us the best education for our children and grandchildren.  We need people to share what we’re learning and feed back their views.”

So go on, gossip for good, and tell 10 friends.

You know you want to!
