Curriculum
Curriculum and organisation:
The school provides 25 hours per week learning opportunities for all pupils and provides a curriculum which supports the requirements of the Independent Schools Standards (Wales) Regulations 2003. All young people are taught in small groups of up to 5, and class groups are decided by both year group / key stage and peer compatibility. Young people have access to 1:1 intervention sessions as required.
