Ysgol Pen y Bryn visit Florida, United States
Ysgol Pen y Bryn is the largest special school in Swansea for pupils aged 3 to 19 with a wide range of additional learning needs. Their pupils have a wide range of academic needs and many come from a background of deprivation. In March 2024 they took seven pupils and staff to Florida to explore a different environment which would provide cultural experiences, important life skills and connections with American students. They participated in lessons at two American institutions but also had the opportunity to take part in work experiences with pupils from Orange County. The trip has resulted in pupils feeling more confident, feeling more capable and the development of their life skills for the future.
