Additional Learning Needs at Ysgol Llys Hywel
Supporting Additional Learning Needs is at the heart of what we do here at Ysgol Llys Hywel. Our ALNCo Mrs C Thomas coordinates provision throughout the school to support children who have a wide range of additional learning needs.
All our classes support their own pupils with a range of Universal Provisions. Mrs B Hancock-Evans (Support Staff) further supports each class with the delivery of universal provision for literacy, numeracy and ChATT. Mr A Owen (Support Staff) is a qualified ELSA and delivers well-being and behaviour provisions to children within the school.
If you have any concerns about your child or you would like an informal chat, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office to arrange a mutually, convenient appointment.
