School Description

Dan y Coed offers a bespoke curriculum for each pupil, which is broad and balanced. The curriculum is enhanced further through the school’s offer of ASPIRE (Autistic Support Promoting Independence, Relationships & Equality) and FLIGHT (Friendships, life skills, Independence, Goals, Health and Trauma) model. Pupils’ academic, social, and vocational development is enhanced through the school’s outside learning experiences. Pupils benefit from the school’s comprehensive careers programme, which provides them with a range of authentic experiences in the local community. Over their time at the school, nearly all pupils make significant progress from their starting points. In the most effective lessons, teaching is delivered with pace and clarity, and is matched to the needs and starting points of the pupils well. Where teaching is less effective, lessons lack challenge or pace, which limits pupils’ progress. Further, in a very few lessons, teachers lack confidence in the delivery of specialist subjects, which impacts upon pupil engagement and progress. The school is strongly committed to embedding the principles of the United Nations Rights of the Child Convention (UNCRC) and have introduced ‘Orbi’ as their mascot promoting children's rights. Staff embed UNCRC principles across the curriculum, ensuring a rightsrespecting ethos. The school has a strong culture of safeguarding. As a result, pupils are kept safe and are nurtured. The school has a strong community focus with partnerships that enhance the learning experiences for pupils, for example St Fagans National Museum of History, with local schools and businesses. The school has a detailed professional learning programme, which covers important areas such as communication, behaviour management, planning and assessment. However, due to changes in the staff team, the consistent use of signing is underdeveloped across the school. Leaders have a clear vision for the school and robust quality assurance processes are embedded. As a result, leaders have a thorough understanding of the school’s strengths and areas of development.
