School Description

Ysgol Rhydygors is a local authority residential and day special school, maintained by Carmarthenshire Council. The school provides education for up to 54 pupils aged eight to 16 years. Currently there are 38 pupils and just over half attend on a residential basis. All pupils have statements of special educational needs for social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. In addition, many have additional learning needs including autism and learning difficulties. The school is organised into 10 classes across the key stages. Pupils are taught in classes that are broadly determined by their need, ability level and age. It is not appropriate to compare the standards that pupils achieve at the school with national averages or to analyse the performance trends of groups over time because of the nature of the pupils’ learning needs. A minority of pupils are placed at Rhydygors by neighbouring authorities. A very few pupils come from ethnic minority backgrounds. Few pupils speak Welsh as their first language at home. Currently, just over 30% of pupils are looked after by the local authority. Fifty-nine per cent of pupils are eligible for free-school meals. This is higher than the all Wales average of 43% for special schools. The school was last inspected in September 2008 and at that time the school was a residential provision for pupils in key stages 3 and 4. The school now also provides for day pupils and pupils from key stage 2. Since 2013, there have been two interim headteachers, with the most recent being appointed in September 2014.
