A quarter of the pupils came from homes where one parent could speak Welsh, and 6% came from homes where both parents could speak Welsh.^[3] The school won over 7 awards at the Urdd National Eisteddfod in 2017, and is typically successful for its all-round talents in all fields.^{[citation needed]}
