础濒迟丑辞耻驳丑听辞耻谤听Torfaen听Learning Zone Campus听opened earlier this year for teaching and learning,听we听were only able to听hold a small, socially-distanced听event to mark the occasion听due to COVID听restrictions at the time. So,听we haven’t yet听had the chance to听properly celebrate the听fantastic听new facilities听on offer to learners in Cwmbran. So,听last听week, we held an official opening celebration with听our听partners听at听Torfaen听County Borough Council,听which was听attended by VIPs and special guests听from Welsh Government.

The celebration听took place in the impressive theatre space in Torfaen Learning Zone, with speeches from 麻豆传媒团队 Principal, Guy Lacey;听Senedd Member,听Lynne Neagle;听Torfaen Council Leader,听Anthony Hunt;听and听Executive Member for Education,听Councillor听Richard Clark.听During听the speeches, an official plaque was unveiled听for the campus,听and guests were听then听given tours of the building led by learners from the campus听who talked about the facilities on offer.

With over 1200 learners enrolled at Torfaen Learning Zone, the first year at our new campus is already proving to be a success. We saw听exceptional A and AS Level results听during the summer, and the new academic year has听got off to a flying start.听Our听learners听and staff听are enjoying making the most of the state-of-the-art facilities and bright airy spaces on offer at the campus.听
