Welcome from Head of Secondary

Dear Parents & Carers,

The secondary phase houses approximately 1100 11-16 pupils in state-of-the-art buildings directly opposite Coleg Gwent Post 16 College.  

At Ebbw Fawr Learning Community, we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where all students can flourish academically, personally, and socially. Each pupil receives their own personal Chromebook to enhance learning, and our dedicated team of teachers foster a love of learning, encouraging students to reach their full potential. We believe in a holistic approach to education, focusing not just on academic success but also on developing well-rounded individuals with strong character and the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. 

We are especially proud of our November 2023 Estyn report (view it HERE), where it is acknowledged that: 

“Staff in Ebbw Fawr Learning Community are committed to the school’s vision of creating a safe, secure and caring environment to ensure that pupils are ‘learning to achieve together’. Promoting pupil well-being is central to the school’s work and staff are sensitive to pupils’ individual needs.” 

Our bold ambition is to be one of the best schools in Wales through our mantra of the ‘Ebbw Fawr Way’. Being kind, respectful, trustworthy and honest are a few of our values that we instill in our young people at every opportunity. 

We recognise the importance of a strong partnership between home and school. Open communication is key to your child’s success. We look forward to welcoming you to upcoming events throughout the year, such as open evenings, parent consultation evenings, and community events like Ebbw Fest. These events offer great opportunities to meet with staff, learn more about school life, and get to know other parents. 

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We are here to support you and your child in any way we can.
