Llangatwg Community School

Pastoral transition arrangements are well-structured and a notable strength. Primary pupils and their families benefit from a wide range of transition opportunities and effective tailored visits. Additional days are provided for vulnerable pupils and those with additional learning needs. 'Cluster visits,' where Llangatwg staff visit each primary school, play a vital role in supporting the transition process. These visits foster strong relationships among pupils, parents, and staff. They also include valuable initiatives such as bookable appointments with Llangatwg staff for parents or carers and informal coffee afternoons, which provide valuable fora for raising concerns and easing anxieties. Additional transition activities held in Easter and August further strengthen this support, these include an egg hunt and a fayre where parents and carers can access support services. A funded family day out further enhances the transition programme.
