• Estyn Thematic Review

  Fri 30 Jun 2023

  Estyn the education inspectorate in Wales, visited Ty Gwyn earlier this year to explore the delivery of the new curriculum, the qualifications we offer and how we ensure equity of opportunity for our learners, compared to those in a mainstream school.

  The detailed report refers to EOTAS and PRU provisions across Wales and the many positives for learners in these provisions.

  There are sections which refer specifically to Ty Gwyn Education Centre (which includes learners in our group and individual tuition provisions) which reflect positively on the work of our staff and the progress of our learners:

• Goodbye and Good luck to our Y11s

  Sat 24 Jun 2023

  So this week the exams finished and we said goodbye to our Y11s! 
  When I joined Ty Gwyn in 2020, this group were just Y8 and very small and timid. Myself and the wider staff have watched them grow up, becoming mature and sensible young adults, competent and confident to make their own way in the world. 
  We have watched them overcome many challenges, including a pandemic which separated us all for long periods and brought unprecedented difficulties around learning.
  The behaviour and attitudes we have seen recently, particularly during the exam period which is never easy, has shown us all how ready they are to take those next steps to success outside Ty Gwyn.

  Goodbye and good luck to:

  Riley, Rubi, T, Ethan, Logun, Harley, Mason and Liam, you’ll be missed. 

  

• Empathy Day @ Ty Gwyn!

  Fri 09 Jun 2023

  Ty Gwyn has recently started using the Empathy Lab Resources to develop our provision and these important learner skills effectively. 
  Today was Empathy Day and we all joined in in Form Family Time. We also shared this Empathy Short story in assembly and thought about Isla as if we had our empathy glasses on.

  We look forward to our next activity - Social Action at our beach clean on 22nd June.
