We are pleased to share the news our former pupil Dylan has secured A*A*A*A at A level to secure his place to study Experimental Psychology at Oxford University this autumn.

 

We appreciate the support he received from the staff at Coleg Y Cymoedd and wish him every success as he takes up his place.

 

These words from Tom Bennett, the respected author and behaviour advisor to the Westminster government remind us all of the power of a PRU to educate and guide our most vulnerable young people to success in their lives, in every way possible:

..."pupil referral units and alternative provision are not borstals; to send a child to one is not a failure. Often these are the best places for a child to have their needs met. The best ones are places of joy. They change and save lives. We need to overcome a feeling that they are shameful. They are intensive care for children who need it most".
