Queen Elizabeth High School is acomprehensive school forCarmarthen town and its surrounding areas.
The school was formed in September 2005 by the joining together ofQueen Elizabeth Maridunum School andQueen Elizabeth Cambria School, which were located within 300m of each other.[citation needed]
In September 2008, Daniyal Shahzad, aPakistani national falsely claiming his name was Ahmer Rana, became a pupil at the school. Lodging with foster parents, on investigation in 2010 by theUK Border Agency, he claimed that he had no family. He was subject to a deportation order, and the school became the centre of a campaign to allow him to stay in the UK, which resulted in a 4,000 signature petition being collected and presented toGordon Brown. After further investigation by S4C's current affairs programme 'Y Byd ar Bedwar'[2][3] his true identity was revealed. Shahzad was deported to Pakistan on 1 June 2011.[4][5]
