    By the mid to late 1960's the school's intake of pupils had risen sharply, to over 300 a year.  Mr. Len Roberts (a PT teacher and Head of the lower school in the 1970's) recalls a small boy crying and in considerable distress in a cloakroom.  The little boy said "Ma gas gen i'r diawl lle 'ma" (I hate this place!!).  He had been transferred from a very small rural school.  This incident however touched Mr. Roberts so much that it prompted a re-assessment in the school's role in the transition to secondary school from primary.  It meant that Mr.  Roberts visited each primary school and spoke to the children prior to their transfer.  He showed them slides of the school, and answered their many and varied questions in order to put their minds at ease.
    In the late 1960's the main County School building was demolished and new classrooms, offices and a library were built and later a main hall.  The first entrants to the "New look" school on 1st September 1970 (I remember it WELL because I was amongst them""").  There was a new "Play ground" area nicknamed the QUAD.  On the left of the quad attached to one of the walkway overhead covers was a cloud, and diagonal rods to represent rain, and a rain  puddle all made our of aluminium.
    The school's pupils were divided into 8 "houses, and given badges with their house name and colour on.  Each house had its own "hall" and canteen/kitchen.  There were weekly competitions between the "houses" for the house whose pupils had gained the most COMMENDATIONS for excellent work. The pupils were delighted when teachers handed them back their newly makred books if they had a massive "C" next to their work .                                        continued ....
