A Chestnut Hill, we prepare students for a happy life in the modern world.
We teach a tailored curriculum from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5, with sufficient adaptability to meet the needs of each of our young people. Each student’s tailored education is guided by the six Welsh Areas of Learning and the four core principles, which are focused on developing:
- ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
- enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work
- ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
- healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society
Each student is given an individualised timetable that includes 1:1 tuition and small group work, as well as individual sessions on life skills, horticulture, creative arts, and food technology.
Our areas of learning are further complemented by additional support with sensory input management, communication skills, and personal/social development.
Accreditation is offered to all students at a level suitable to their learning strengths and needs.
Classroom education is supported and reinforced through opportunities to reinforce in real-life environments. Abakhan retail village is only minutes away. This unique space for independent businesses is both a fun day out and a place to practice independence skills.
Beyond the immediate vicinity, Wales offers a huge array of beautiful spots, historical sites and interesting towns to visit. North Wales is the gateway to outdoor adventure, with a nearby coast, plenty of mountains and even high-octane zip-lining in the area. We are well-situated to teach our pupils to experience life to the fullest.
