"Very poor "

I would not recommend this school for any students that struggle with school work. My son has been in this school for 3 years and I feel that he has been thoroughly let down and has had no support whatsoever in regards to school work. He struggles with welsh terminology in which has caused him stress with school. School had been informed about his struggles by an approved governing body and still they did not support him, only sent him to the Hafan every time or home because they did-not have “key workers”. If your child is not academically able then I would not send them here. They are only there to support the pupils that are able snd them ones that will help them hit GCSE targets.

"schoolgirl"

Not a very good school, teachers aren’t the best. They don’t seem to care much about us and only recently (because the council has told then to) make us fill in a form about how We feel. Lets be honest they don’t care their just doing it to make them look good.

"meh it’s ok"

would rather die than go here again, don’t get me wrong it’s fun and some of the teachers are okay but it’s clear the staff don’t care ab their students mental health and are more prioritised with the reputation of the school
