Nick rhodes of duran duran went to my school. My dad still speaks to his dad most weeks when he is out drinking.

Steve Backley, javelin chucker, was a few years above me. Either Gareth Hale or Norman Pace (I can never remember which and Google isn't helping) had been a PE teacher some time before I started. I don't know of any others.

A whole bunch of rugby players, including JPR Williams, Gavin Henson, Robert Howley, Dafydd James, Dr Jack Matthews, Mike Hall and Gareth Williams.

Also Nicole Cooke (Olympic cycling champion), Maria Miller (Coservative MP), Carwyn Jones (current first minister for Wales).

Finally, Lyn "the leap" Davis (Olympic long jump gold medallist) used to teach there.
