Welfare

We are committed to supporting our learners to have the best possible start in their lives and to create positive experiences for secondary education.
Our primary objective is to safeguard young people and promote and protect their emotional and social well-being. We believe that a happy child is much more likely to succeed and prosper.
Fostering good mental health, as well as good physical health is considered a priority here at Ysgol Glan Clwyd.
We are proud of the pastoral support here at Ysgol Glan Clwyd, and are confident that the dedicated support is in place. We have an effective system of working with external agencies who support us with our learners, ensuring that all children receive the same support.
