Pupil Inclusion Project

The Pupil Inclusion Project is a project for young people with difficulties, not for difficult young people.

Education changes lives, it provides opportunity, it enables individuals to shape their futures, it builds stronger, more tolerant and cohesive societies, it is the foundation of a strong economy.  In short, education matters.

Qualified for Life. An education improvement plan for 3-19 year olds in Wales.  

We offer a programme that is empowering, participate, expressive, education and fun (some of the time)

​

AIM

• The aim of the project is to help develop the academic, personal and social potential of each individual in the most professional and concerned way, and  to support young people’s reintegration into mainstream education, vocational training or further education.

• A planned programme of events is produced each term, with the help of the young people, to encourage ownership and empowerment. The project is delivered on a weekly basis throughout the school year. 

• Each young person attends one day per week at Gabalfa Community Centre and the remainder of the week at either, Bryn y Deryn, or work based training providers.

PURPOSE

• We seek to raise each pupil’s self-esteem and confidence and thereby develop their life and social skills.

• Each young person is treated as an individual, through our flexible, informal approach we provide an organic, safe and stimulating learning environment giving opportunity to develop personal knowledge and skills. 

• We achieve this by having realistic expectations based on the individual’s history and needs, through initial assessment from our partner Bryn y Deryn and our ongoing assessments of emotional, social and academic needs. 

• Setting realistic, achievable targets through the young person’s choice and a planned programme of events.
