Welcome to Ty Dysgu
‘Our vision is to help young people move beyond Ty Dysgu into pathways that best suit their aspirations—whether that is back into mainstream education, alternative education settings, further education, apprenticeships, or employment. We aim to help our students to develop a sense of hope, pride, and a clear vision for their future.’
​
To do this we have created an inclusive, supportive, and transformative environment where every pupil is valued, nurtured, and empowered to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.
​
We are committed to helping young people by offering tailored support, fostering resilience, and encouraging the development of both their social and emotional wellbeing. By working collaboratively with families, schools, and local communities, we aim to provide a broad approach to education that supports every child’s unique needs, builds self-esteem, and guides them on a path toward a successful future.​
