Ysgol Ty Coch

Dear parents, As we continue to work hard to prepare for our upcoming Estyn inspection, I am really pleased to share our brand-new school website with you. The website is the result of a huge amount of hard work from our staff, parents, governors, pupils and the wider community. It is designed to reflect the vision, values and ethos of our wonderful school. This work has been ongoing for a number of years, so reaching this point is a really important step forward for us in sharing who we are as a school and a community. Our website will help our parents, learners and the wider community to access important, up-to-date information about our school and, importantly, to understand more about who we are, what we believe in and what we want for our learners. You can find out more about our staff, curriculum, departments, approaches, policies and so much more. I hope you enjoy exploring the website and learning more about each aspect of our school. As always, your feedback and contributions are really appreciated. Best wishes Simon Wilson - Headteacher
