Pupils crowned kings and queens of the road safety Castle!

Oldcastle primary School has taken the 2008 Road safety title after beating off stiff competition at the Odeon Cinemas, Bridgend. Following several preliminary rounds, the final proved to be a real test, with lots of hard questions to answer. This was no problem for the finalists however, as the close competition saw runners-up Ysgol Cynwyd Sant beaten only by a 2 point margin, with the other finalists falling in close behind.
