Improving specialist provision for children and young people with additional learning needs 2018-19

On 05 July 2018 Cardiff Council Cabinet agreed proposals to:

  • ​Increase the capacity of Ty Gwyn to allow for up to 198 places
  • Change the type of special educational need Meadowbank School provides for from: ‘speech language and communication needs’, to ‘speech language and communication needs and complex learning disabilities’
  • Phase out the Specialist Resource Base at Allensbank School, closing the class in July 2020, or when all current pupils have completed their primary placem​​ent, if earlier.  Open an eight-place early intervention class for children with speech and language needs at Allensbank School, admitting the first cohort in September 2019.
  • Open a specialist resource base at Ysgol Pwll Coch, providing up to 10 places initially, but with scope to extend to 20 places in future, as demand grows. 
  • Extend the place number of the SRB at Ysgol Glantaf to 30 places. Adapt and improve accommodation to cater for increased numbers.



Consultation February / March 2018​​


An increasing population means that a growing number of learners require special school or specialist resource base places.  
Cardiff currently has 7 special schools, providing educational needs to 570 pupils aged 4  - 19.

A number of changes are being proposed, to expand and in some instances adapt the current level of provision to meet this need.
