Baglan Primary School - SSCE Cymru/Little Troopers Club Community Room Grand Opening
Ionawr 2025
On the afternoon of Wednesday 15th January, Baglan Primary School, Neath Port Talbot, held the grand opening ceremony for their SSCE Cymru/Little Troopers Club Community Room. The tape was cut and the room officially opened by the Lord-Lieutenant (although the members of the Little Troopers Club had of course had an earlier sneaky peak).

This was a lovely opportunity to visit the school to see how they had used the Supporting Service Children in Education in Wales Fund (SSCE-WF) to create a dedicated space for their Service children and see what else they had been up to in their Little Troopers Club.
Eve, Baglan’s Service Children School Champion shared;
“We are proud that we have been able to provide a dedicated and safe space for the Service children and their families in our school. As always, we appreciate the support you have given us on our journey to become an Armed Forces Friendly School. We look forward to working with you again in the future. We have lots of exciting activities planned for our Service children this year.”
Well done and thank you to Eve and the whole team at Baglan Primary School, who continue to show outstanding support.
SSCE Cymru enjoy collaborating with schools and our network to support Service children in education in Wales. One of the members of our wonderful support network is the charity Little Troopers, who have produced a collection of Little Troopers at school resources that offer ideas on various sessions and guidance on 'how to' set up a club in your educational setting. Should your school want to establish a club and would like further information on how to apply for funding to support a project like this, then please come along to an online drop-in for an informal discussion about your next steps.
