Alumni

Heolddu has registered with the charity Future First to set up networks of former students or alumni.

The scheme encourages former students to get in touch with their schools and return to their former places of education to tell current pupils how they faced the same challenges and opportunities when they were their age.

​

This is a fantastic opportunity for some of our former pupils to give something back to

Heolddu and inspire a future generation.

We urge interested parties to get in touch with Future First and support this exciting project.  

 

Former students can click on the Future First Logo and sign up for free
