Neath Port Talbot Schools Service children Festival 2026

On Monday 13th July 2026 Ysgol Bae Baglan held Neath Port Talbot's annual Service Children Festival.

The school shared;

"It was a real pleasure for us to again host the Annual Neath Port Talbot Schools Service Children's Summer Festival at Ysgol Bae Baglan today. Another marvellous event, thoroughly enjoyed by our own Service children and those from schools across the region. The pupils participated in a range of fantastic activities, provided by Forces Fitness, Bushcraft, Bulldogs and a rugby activity provided by Apollo Teaching. We are extremely grateful to all our visitors, including the High Sheriff of West Glamorgan, The Mayor and Mayoress and Mrs Julie Stapleton, Service Children's Lead for the Local Authority. 

A wonderful day with excellent weather in a lovely setting. Special mention to our fabulous pupils for supporting the day, to Mrs Jayne Lewis and to our outstanding Service Children's Champion, Mrs Abby Challenger. As a proud, truly inclusive school, our service children having a strong voice across our school community is extremely important to us. With military veterans on our staff, along with wives and partners of serving members of the Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, we are ideally placed to provide relevant, meaningful support. We are also very proud of our close connections with the Local Veteran's Group and of our status as a Gold Award School in partnership with Supporting Service Children in Education (Cymru). We eagerly anticipate continuing to work closely with all of our partner schools and organisations to ensure an ever stronger regional network for Service children and their families."
