Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has paid tribute to Ysgol Dinas Brân in the Chamber of the House of Commons.

He asked Education Minister Nick Gibb whether he agreed that schools have not only provided imaginative remote learning during the COVID-19 crisis, but also played a vital role in supporting frontline workers through projects such as the production of PPE equipment by Ysgol Dinas Brân in Llangollen.

In response, the Minister said: “We’re very grateful to the hard work and dedication of our teachers during this time. And we have highlighted the innovative work of schools in a series of case studies which we’ve published recently. 

"And I congratulate those at Ysgol Dinas Brân on producing over 800 visors – which is a prime example of that innovation.”
