THE CURRICULUM (3)
Y CWRICWLWM (3)
Learning Support
Cymorth Dysgu
Pupils with special learning difficulties are taught in
small groups. They are taught either in the learning
support department or by subject specialists as
appropriate. A full range of National Curriculum
subjects are studied and pupils have access to
specialist rooms and equipment. Every opportunity is
taken to return pupils to main stream classes for
some or all subjects.
In years 10 and 11 pupils with special learning
difficulties may follow Entry Level Courses, and it is
usual for most of them to achieve qualifications in a
number of subjects before they leave school.
More Able and Talented Students
Disgyblion Mwy Galluog a Dawnus
The school recognises that more than 20% of students
will be more able and talented academically in
a range or in specific subjects, or gifted in other creative,
sporting or entrepreneurial areas. Appropriate
challenge and support will be offered as a matter of
course to these students. In addition, extra curricular
opportunities will be offered where possible.
All year 12 students will be required to
complete studies in the compulsory modules of:
Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification

groups involved.

All pupils in years 9 – 13 receive careers eduction
and guidance. Pupils are introduced to the world of
work through talks, often given by visiting speakers
from commerce and industry, industrial visits and
increasingly through computer-based information
and guidance systems. The school works in close
partnership with Careers Wales (Mid Glamorgan)
Ltd. Parents may make appointments with the careers
teacher and careers officer to discuss their children’s
future. The school has been awarded the Quality Kite
Mark for its standard of Careers Education and
Guidance.
Religious Education and Worship
Addysg Grefyddol ac Addoliad
We are aware of the spiritual needs of our pupils. We
try to ensure that all their various views and needs –
and those of their parents – are catered for. An act of
worship is incorporated into an assembly each day.
The Religious Education syllabus reflects the
fundamental values, morals and ethics of our society,
whose religious traditions are mainly Christian. The
teaching and practices of the other religions
represented in Rhondda Cynon Taf are also taken
into account.
If you do not wish your child to attend religious
education or worship please make a written request
to the school.
