Ty Calon Centre

We are very proud of our school community and all those who are part of it. Where you choose will be one of the most important decisions you will have to make for your child as a parent. You will want your child to be happy, safe, cared for and challenged. Whitchurch High School will provide a caring, creative and stimulating environment where this will be achieved. 

Students within Ty Calon Centre will benefit from:

  • An enhanced student/teacher ratio.
  • Access to teachers experienced/qualified to teach students with learning difficulties.
  • Access to a suitably differentiated curriculum which takes into account the varied additional learning needs and preferred learning styles of the students.
  • Use of enhanced resources to aid the students’ learning such as Teaching Assistants and specialist equipment and resources.
  • Enhanced supervision at breaks and beginning and end of day as needed.

All staff at Whitchurch High School work to encourage, establish and maintain positive relationships by demonstrating to students that they are welcome, liked and respected.

An unconditional acceptance is vital to each students’s success in the school. The warmth of environment, security and level of mutual respect and trust achieved between staff and students will have a significant impact upon the lives of the children at the school.  A calm and consistent positive approach is adopted, promoting confidence and self-esteem, providing a secure environment and demonstrating appropriate and acceptable ways of expressing emotion. 

Placement at Ty Calon is agreed through Cardiff County as it is a County wide provision, with a capacity of 110 students. If you are interested in our school or have any questions still unanswered please feel free to contact the Administrative team.
