Encouraging and enabling our students to take on new fun and exciting challenges with the support of our skilled team.
Welcome to Craig Y Parc School
Craig Y Parc is an independent day school for pupils from age 3 to 19 years. Currently, the age range of pupils at the school is from age 9 to 18 years.
At present, there are 34 pupils on roll at the school, which includes 6 pupils from the children’s residential home Ty Cwtch that is situation on the site.
All pupils have an Individual Development Plans (IDP) or Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) maintained by their respective local authority.

Our curriculum is one specifically designed to meet the individual needs of our students. We focus heavily on developing communication skills, physical and sensory abilities, numeracy, digital competence, wellbeing, thinking, and life skills.
Inspections
Sample of positive comments from Estyn’s Core Inspection of Craig Y Parc, March 2023
“Craig Y Parc provides a calm and nurturing environment that generally meets pupils’ physical, medical and care needs well. Teaching and support staff build positive working relationships with pupils and, as a result, many pupils are happy and settled”
‘This close team-working means that pupils make particularly beneficial progress in the development of their communication, physical and independence skills’
‘The current leadership team has brought stability to the school and has started to implement beneficial changes to the school’s curriculum, approaches to teaching and assessment, and the model of therapeutic support.’
Therapies
Craig y Parc provides a highly qualified and experienced team of therapists to support all students. The team are closely involved with external healthcare professionals. Often they are the first to identify significant physical changes in a student and liaising with local therapists or medical teams is vital in monitoring clinical, surgical or equipment needs. All of our therapy programmes are individually tailored and based on a thorough assessment and evaluation of each student’s needs.
Therapy Specialists on site full time include:
Occupational Therapists
Physiotherapists
Nurses
Speech & Language Therapists
Positive Behaviour Support
