Policies

At Ysgol Tan y Gaer we recognise the unique needs of young people living in care. We prioritise their holistic well-being and personal growth.

Our key principles are:-

Individualised Support:

Tailor our approach to meet the needs of each young person.

We understand that each young person has distinct experiences and challenges. Our engagement strategies are personalised, considering their emotional, social, and educational needs.

Transformative Experience:

Create opportunities for personal growth and achievement.

We offer a range of experiences and activities, from sports to creative arts. Participation fosters a sense of belonging and self-worth.

Unlocking Potential:

Foster a passion for learning and development.

Caring and Welcoming Environment:

We create a safe and nurturing space where young people feel heard and respected. We prioritise a supportive and nurturing atmosphere.

Relationships as Cornerstones:

Trust is the foundation of our relationships. We aim to build strong connections between staff, pupils, and the wider community.

Collaboration and Unity:

We collaborate with care professionals and our therapy team to ensure consistency between school, care and therapy. Communication is key to understanding each student’s context. We work together to ensure success for all.

Our principles prioritise the whole person—academically, emotionally, and socially. By collaborating with therapy and care teams, we empower young people to thrive both within and beyond our school community.
