THREE Ysgol Aberconwy students have been awarded the Worshipful Livery Company of Wales Schools prize.

Year 9 pupil Nina Rowlands and Edward Griffith and Geneva Hanson of Year 10 recently received the award - as well as a cash sum of £250 - after they successfully passed a formal interview.

The Worshipful Livery Company of Wales was set up to promote education, arts, science and technology and through their awards, they’re able to develop the talents of young people throughout Wales.

Representative Jean Bryson explained: “We would normally choose two students to win the award however, due to the extremely high standard of applications this year, we decided to award three students. It is my pleasure in presenting these students with their awards, not only will this help with their current education but it also sets them on the right path for the future that lies ahead of them too.”

Following the presentation of the awards Mr Ian Gerrard, Headteacher stated, “I’m delighted we’ve been awarded not two but three prizes this year, to students who have demonstrated their hard working and conscientious approach to their studies. As always it’s an absolute pleasure working with Jean and the Guild and we’re extremely grateful for the opportunity they’ve given to our students.”
