All children deserve the best start in life, and we strive to reflect this in everything we do.

At Ysgol Afon Wen, we recognise, respect, and promote the rights of children as detailed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Our active school Senedd enables learners to continuously improve the school community by championing important issues. The Senedd fosters student leadership, enhances communication between students and staff, and promotes a collaborative environment, ensuring all student voices contribute to school improvement.

Learner Voices in Action
Our learners have been sharing their thoughts loud and clear in our latest SENEDD discussions, and the results have been inspiring! Many positive points were raised, highlighting what’s working well and what could be improved. The best part? Action is already being taken!

Our sub-committees have been working hard behind the scenes, making real progress on the issues raised by learners. From making learning spaces more accessible to ensuring that every student’s voice is heard, we are committed to making meaningful changes that benefit everyone.
