Ogmore Comprehensive School (Ogmore Grammar School pre-1977) was a co-educational secondary school situated approximately 1.2 miles from the M4 Junction 36, Bridgend, Wales. It had a population of approximately 710 pupils aged 11–18 in its last year of full service, which made it the smallest secondary state school in Bridgend. The school was mainly recognised throughout South Wales for its commitments to the environment. In 2011, the school ceased to be after merging with local neighbouring school Ynysawdre Comprehensive School after over 100 years of service to the local catchment areas in its two different guises. == Ogmore School's Eco Committee == Ogmore School boasted an excellent Eco-Schools Team which is led by various teachers of the school. The Group had many committed members, whose activities ranged from making greenhouses from bottles to the addition of ''Photovoltaic Cells'' on the roof of the school. The Pupils who took part in the Eco-Schools committee ranged from all years within the school. Ogmore was awarded The Green Flag after months of work by pupils and teachers, becoming the first secondary school in Bridgend County to do so. In 2007, after this success, and years of hard work, the school was named the most environmentally friendly secondary school in Wales, after being the first secondary school to receive a 1st place Eco-Schools award. The school received 2nd place in 2008's Eco-Schools awards, and again managed to reach 1st place in 2009. Ogmore School was also officially named a Fair Trade School, all produce sold in the School (such as fruit, vegetables and tea) were all Fair Trade. The School also had the privilege of hosting the Fair Trade convention earlier in 2007. Again in November 2009, Ogmore Comprehensive earned another Green Flag, proving to be a great accomplishment for Green Schools in Wales. The School's students also had the privilege of linking up to Great Fammis school 〔http://www.papapaalive.org/〕 in Ghana, where pupils had the once in a lifetime chance of speaking to children half way around the world, exploring each other's cultures and lifestyles. The Ogmore pupils also had the chance to find out how FairTrade directly affected their lives in Ghana and gave them the insight of how their crusade for Fair Trade status had been worthwhile. Both pupils and teachers enjoyed the experience. The video link was filmed for ITV Wales news, and was broadcast later that week. Ogmore Comprehensive school continued to make regular contact with Great Fammis, and has even hosted other schools, spreading the knowledge of fairtrade across Wales. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ogmore School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
