During this academic year the leadership team will work together to put in place consistent policies and procedures across all campuses and ensure that all learners have the opportunities to use and benefit from the Community resources. The leadership team will provide opportunities for staff to work together to share practice and ideas. We will also set up parent and carer forums so that we really listen to all our stakeholders. In this first year we will consult widely with pupils, parents and carers and staff as we move towards a standardised school day across all campuses and establish a staffing structure that promotes best practice.

I hope that you are happy with the education and care that we provide however if you have any ideas on how we can improve further or any issues please contact us. 

I believe that together we are stronger and over the next weeks, months and years I hope we can work together to achieve excellence for every learner in Abertillery and Blaenau Gwent.
