Additional Learning Needs

Over the last few years there have been lots of changes taking place in Welsh Education with regards to Additional Learning Needs and the Educational Tribunal Act (ALNET). In line with these changes we have been working with RCT education services and our cluster schools to ensure that we provide the best possible education for your children as we can.

We have put information on this webpage that we feel will be helpful to you to understand what has happened.
