Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy was delighted to visit Coleg Llandrillo last Friday with her colleague and friend Tom Giffard MS, Shadown Minister for Education.
The two toured the College with Aled the new CEO of Coleg Menai and Paul Flanagan the new Principal for Coleg Llandrillo. They met numerous teachers and pupils and learned of the hard work and exciting projects the school are taking part in.
Coleg Llandrillo continues to set a benchmark for educational excellence in Wales, providing outstanding opportunities for its students and contributing greatly to the local community. The College’s dedicated staff work tirelessly to create an environment that fosters academic achievement, personal growth, and practical skills that equip students for their futures.
Commenting on the visit Janet said:
“Tom and I were thrilled to visit the College. We are especially proud of the hard work and perseverance shown by the pupils, who consistently demonstrate excellence across various disciplines. Whether it's in vocational training, academic courses, or extracurricular achievements, the students at Coleg Llandrillo embody the dedication and passion necessary to thrive in their chosen fields.
“The efforts of the faculty and staff are clearly equally commendable, as they continually go above and beyond to support learners, ensuring they are given the tools and guidance they need to succeed. Their commitment to providing a nurturing and innovative learning environment is key to the college's long-standing reputation as a leading educational institution.
“Coleg Llandrillo's success stories stand as a powerful testament to the unwavering dedication of both students and staff. We eagerly anticipate the continuation of this inspiring journey toward excellence, ensuring many more achievements in the years to come.
“My thanks to Aled and Paul for hosting us and I wish them, the teachers and pupils all the best for the future.”
Commenting on the visit, Tom Giffard MS, Shadow Minister for Education and Welsh Language said:
"It was great to meet with Paul and Aled at Coleg Llandrillo, and to hear firsthand about some of the great work the college does in the local community.
"It's more important than ever for us that people can access good quality vocational education, so that we can address key skills gaps in our workforce and to help boost our economy.
"The Welsh Labour Government's decision to cut apprenticeship places in the last budget will only serve to make that mission more difficult."
