At Ysgol Heulfan, we are totally committed to the principles of inclusive education and in Y Canol we are proud to be able to offer the 'best of both worlds'. Each child in Y Canol receives a curriculum that is individually tailored to their priority learning needs.

Additionally, children in Y Canol spend some time during their week with their friends in the mainstream part of the school. This inclusive practice fosters real friendships and promotes a lifelong understanding among the mainstream children regarding the diverse needs of pupils who have complex learning needs.

Our facilities include a soft play room, sensory stimulation room and adapted kitchen. Our school motto is 'Working Together to Be the Best We Can Be'.
