Everyteacher is regarded as a teacher of Additional Needs, and is advised and supportedby an experienced team of specialist staff. This is to ensure that pupils have accessto all aspects of the National Curriculum, through integration into mainstreamclasses, helped by specialist teachers and Learning Support Assistants. Pupils whohave additional learning needs may receive help in different ways. They initially maybe placed in a small class in the charge of one member of staff, in order to benefitfrom a sense of security and small group teaching for much of the week. Otherpupils may receive small group tuition for some lessons each week, to help them copewith language or mathematical difficulties in particular.Pupils with additional needs are identified in several ways, including informationreceived from parents and / or primary schools. All pupils in Year 7 sit screening20

tests in the early part of their first term with us, the scores being used asindicators for any need for more precise testing. As pupils progress through theSchool, a need may be identified by a teacher, parent, or as sometimes happens, bythe pupils themselves.For many pupils an identified additional need may involve little more than negotiationwith teachers and perhaps the provision of specific items or extra teaching sessionsfor a short period. This School based assessment may, in time, lead to statutoryassessment if our strategies do not produce the expected improvement. AnIndividual Educational Programme (I.E.P.) is designed, in consultation with subjectteachers, aimed at outlining the steps needed to address any identified difficulties;the I.E.P. is regularly reviewed. At this stage, facilities for specific needs, such asspecialised equipment, or changes from National Curriculum teaching and testing,are negotiated.A record of pupils having additional needs is kept; the details of pupils havingspecific needs are recorded with the agreement of the pupil and parents andreviewed regularly. A Transition Plan is created for statemented pupils at 14+ andthe specialist careers officer has an overview of career plans until the pupil leavesSchool. The Educational Psychologist is a vital member of our team and visits on aregular basis. Apart from formal testing as part of assessment, the psychologistadvises on the strategies to be used to deal with the learning problems of individualpupils. The Pupil Support Officer works closely with the School over attendance andhome/school problems. At present the L.E.A. supports Additional Needs within theSchool through the addition of a specific sum to our budget. The AdditionalLearning Needs Coordinator (ALNCO) is Mrs E Bowyer and the Governor designatedfor this area is Mr O Johns.CYFLEUSTERAU’R YSGOL : SCHOOL FACILITIESThe School enjoys an excellent range of facilities. These include: an Astroturf, anew Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool complex, a Hairdressing Salon – Salon BG - agrassed over play area on the site of the old Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool, anEngineering block and a construction facility.

YMDDYGIAD DISGYBLION : PUPIL BEHAVIOURThe Headteacher is responsible for the discipline of the School, which may bedelegated to teachers and prefects. In order to function properly a School must bean orderly community, with high standards of behaviour. To maintain this, it musthave a set of rules, based upon self-respect and respect for others and theenvironment, which encourage pupils to develop self-discipline.Disciplinary action may be taken in any case where the conduct of a pupil may bringdiscredit upon the School, even though such conduct may have taken place outsideSchool hours and beyond the School premises.SYSTEM YMDDYGIAD : THE BEHAVIOUR SYSTEMThe Behaviour System offers rewards for good behaviour and the School isdelighted that local businesses and organisations, including our own P.T.A., haveagreed to provide generous sponsorship for the rewards available. There are clearlyexplained consequences which follow any instance when the pupil’s behaviour doesnot reach the required standard.REWARDS AND SANCTIONSA. In the classroom.1. Each pupil has a termly grid, in the centre of the Planner. At the end of each lesson,the class teacher fills in the grid according to behaviour /work, and also keeps a record inhis/her personal mark book or in the pupil’s record.2. Exceptional work = Merit. Merits should be awarded for an individual’s effort; thisto be at the teacher’s discretion. Merits are not to be awarded if a pupil asks for one, norfor behaviour which is normally expected of a pupil e.g. sitting down and getting on with thework set. Merits should be awarded for the process rather than the outcome.3. Good/acceptable behaviour = blank4.

CYNNAL YMDDYGIAD : BEHAVIOUR SUPPORTMrs E Bowyer : ALNCO & Behaviour SupportMrs J Fudge : Behaviour Support TeacherAs a School, we recognise that unacceptable behaviour is sometimes caused byfactors outside a pupil’s control which impinge on the pupil’s life. Other pupils needextra support to help them through a difficult time. The School’s behaviour supportsystem aims to help such pupils, to enable them to reflect upon their actions and tomodify them, in order for their learning to continue and improve.Pupils are referred to Mrs Fudge, who works in the Bro Gwaun Family of Schools,and is based in Bro Gwaun, by Year Progress Managers, ALNCO or members of theSenior Management Team, and are offered an appropriate Behaviour SupportProgramme, which is tailored to the individual’s needs. Pupil Action Plans andBehviour Support Plans are drawn up by the ALNCO, in conjunction with YearProgress Managers, the Behaviour Support Teacher, parents/guardians and pupils.It is expected that all pupils conform to the School’s rules and accepted modes ofbehaviour. If pupils do not show any inclination to respond positively to the supportthey are offered, then disciplinary steps will be taken. However, the Schoolstresses that we work very hard to manage behaviour in a supportive and positiveway.Action PlansA pupil is placed on an Action Plan when her/his behaviour does not improve after staffsupport. Staff, parents and pupils agree to the targets set.Pastoral Support PlansPupils who do not respond to the targets set in the Action Plan will be placed on a PastoralSupport Plan and may be suspended, or offered a placement at the Pupil Referral Unit, ifbehaviour does not improve.Parents are urged to attend Planning Meetings, as staff will complete the plans if parentsdo not attend.27

ADRAN ADDYSG GORFFOROL/PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTRISK ASSESSMENTWhilst every possible care is taken in the prevention of accidents during sporting activitiesin Ysgol Bro Gwaun we would ask all parents / guardians to support us in this aim. Whilstnot compulsory, it is advisable for pupils to wear protective articles, especially in teamgames.For sporting activities on grass all pupils should wear appropriate studded footwear.In rugby, scrumcaps, gum shields, shoulder pads and for ‘front row’ forward players shinpads are recommended. Similarly shin pads are recommended for football.In hockey, shin pads and gum shields are strongly recommended, to lessen the risk ofinjury.Ysgol Bro Gwaun supplies the major items of protective equipment. However, personalitems such as gum shields and shin pads etc. need to be supplied by parents / guardians,especially for those pupils that play inter-school level.Thank you for your assistance in this matter.Break and LunchtimeIn order to minimize the risk of serious injury during break and lunchtime, pupils areinstructed not to play roughly with each other, and not to play contact sports. Whilst it isnatural and desirable that pupils play football/touch rugby and other similar gamestogether, they must avoid inappropriate and over-physical contact during these activities,at break and lunchtime.38
