Ty Gwyn School

Ty Gwyn supports pupils aged 3-19 with Autism and /or profound and complex needs. The school is federated with Riverbank and Woodlands High School within the western learning campus. We are proud that the school has been recognised as excellent by Estyn in our last inspection.

At Ty Gwyn School we pride ourselves on our positive, inclusive and welcoming ethos. This ethos has been recognised by investors in people who has awarded us the highest achieving Platinum Award. We believe that this culture is achieved by placing the pupils at the centre of everything we do. Our vision Statement demonstrates this core value: "We believe that every pupil should have the opportunity to learn and develop within an environment where they are happy, supported and challenged to achieve as much as possible. We believe that every child has the right to an education of high quality where everyone is valued......"

Our school is a learning environment for all, and we are committed to supporting and developing our staff, families and carers as fully as possible. We achieve this by providing fun, hands on experience by learning alongside our pupils, working together within multi-disciplinary teams, giving informal presentations and gaining recognised qualifications. We hope that you find our website informative, and we invite you to visit our school to experience our innovative practice first hand.
