To celebrate it’s 50th anniversary Roch school will be holding an open afternoon on Thursday June 13th. The event is open to all but we would really love to welcome ex pupils and staff to experience the 2024 version of the school. No need to book just come along any time between 1.30 and 4.30pm.
Along with other activities and events present day pupils will lead tours around the school and there will be an exhibition of the school over the last 50 years.
If anyone has any memorabilia of Roch school that you would be happy to be part of the exhibition, please send it or bring it into school. We promise to take good care of it, we will photocopy any pictures we receive immediately and will catalogue and take good care of any artefacts that are brought in. The more things we receive the more interesting the exhibition.
We are happy to accept electronic photos please email them to : [email protected]

We have a vibrant dog owner community in Roch Village! You only need to walk around the village to see some of our four legged friends enjoying the outdoors.
Unfortunately, a number of two legged companions are letting the side down and the number of reported dog fouling incidents is on the rise again.
Nolton and Roch Community Council will be working with Pembrokeshire County Council to invest more into signage which will be mounted in dog fouling hot spots. We also want to make sure that incidents are reported and followed up so please do report incidents via: [email protected]. Thank you.

The cost of living crisis affects everyone and it is a worrying and uncertain time.

Therefore, work is taking place to connect people to local information, support and services over the coldest months of the year.

Across Pembrokeshire we are already seeing communities and organisations doing a fantastic job at responding to the crisis, offering a range of local solutions including community cafes to which you can pop along with a friend to socialise over tea, cake and all sorts of activities, and where you can make new friends too.

Lots of advice on energy, money, food, transport, care and debt can also be found there as well as at Pembrokeshire Community Hub on the number and website shown above.

It is essential to keep warm particularly during the cold winter months.

If you are worried about making your money stretch and how you are going to pay for essential bills over the winter, we’d really encourage you to get in contact with us at Pembrokeshire Community Hub.

No-one should feel uncomfortable about contacting us as we have a really friendly team who can chat to you about some of the fantastic community support that is local to you.

APPEAL | We are appealing for witnesses or information following a serious collision, which saw a car crash off the A487 and into a campsite in Pembrokeshire last night (Saturday, 12 August).

At shortly after 10.30pm several calls were made to emergency services reporting the one-car collision at Newgale Campsite.

The blue Ford Fiesta, which contained a number of occupants, is believed to have been travelling from the direction of Roch in the St Davids direction when it lost control and veered off the road.

It crashed into the campsite, colliding with a number of people and a tent, injuring nine, including passengers in the car.

The injuries sustained by two of them are described as serious. They remain in hospital at this time.

The road was closed to allow investigations and reopened at around 7.45am today.

Officers are appealing for any information regarding the vehicle, a blue Ford Fiesta, and its occupants.

We are especially interested in any dash-cam footage or doorbell footage which may have captured the vehicle being driven from Roch to the scene of the collision at Newgale.

Do you have information that could help us with this investigation? Please, let us know:
