Welcome from our Headteacher

Cefn Saeson is a vibrant school, with an inclusive culture and progressive teaching and learning. I feel privileged to be the new Headteacher and relish the opportunity to support our staff, community and Governing Body to continue to offer high performance learning and enrichment opportunities for our young people.

Our school sits within close reach of the beautiful Afan Forest and many aspects of the areas historical and cultural landmarks. State of the art facilities and a 21st century building lends itself to high ambitions and the art of anything being possible.

The students will always be at the heart of what we do, and we believe that every individual can reach their full potential through quality education that opens a range of pathways to them for their future world.

With excellent collaboration between home and school and the dedication and innovation our staff, we will consistently and positively guide each student be the best possible version of themselves. Fostering a lifelong learning of love is our shared commitment and I look forward to what this academic year brings our young people.

Our website will provide you with an insight in to our school but please do not hesitate to contact us with any queries that you may have: 01639 791300.

We also welcome show arounds for prospective students and families who may be interested in becoming part of our wonderful community.

Warm regards,

C Jones

Headteacher

About our School

Overview

Cefn Saeson is a popular and well established school whose aim is to expect and celebrate our many successes. We are very proud to serve the communities of Cimla, Tonmawr, Pontrhydyfen, Tonna and parts of Neath, and we welcome preferred placements from outside our main catchment area.

Our success is attributed to many factors, but in particular the hard work of dedicated staff and pupils, and the excellent relationships fostered by all concerned. A regular programme of parents’ evenings, open evenings enhance our close partnership with our wider community. A group of our More Able and Talented pupils are busily producing the first of our Video Blogs so they can tell you about the many things we do.
