The school is now known by its Welsh name only and this is the form used on all official literature, signs and documents. 2024 stabbing On 24 April 2024, the school was placed on lockdown after two teachers and a student were injured in a stabbing attack. A teenage girl was arrested by Dyfed–Powys Police on suspicion of attempted murder, and two air ambulances and an ambulance were sent to the scene at 11:30 a.m. The police requested that footage of the incident on social media be "removed to avoid contempt of court and distress to those affected". Pupils of the school were released at 3:20 p.m. to their parents and guardians, many of whom had been waiting outside the school. The three casualties were later discharged from hospital. On 3 February 2025, the 14-year-old perpetrator was found guilty of three counts of attempted murder, having pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article. The girl had told police officers that she committed the acts to be on the news and be a celebrity. She was sentenced to 15 years of detention. Estyn reports The school's most recent Estyn report was conducted in 2019. The school was judged to be 'good' in its standards, teaching and learning experiences, pastoral care, and leadership and management. Its wellbeing and attitudes to learning were described as 'excellent'. It was recommended that the school improves its students' spoken and written Welsh, provide a wider curriculum for Key Stage 4 and the sixth form, and improve ICT skills across all subjects.
