Can y Deryn caters for 38 KS4 learners who have anxiety-based school avoidance including mental health struggles from throughout the County of Cardiff.

Learners are in classes of eight with a teacher and teaching assistant.

The team of teaching and non-teaching staff offer a wide range of expertise and support to learners, and we are all fully aware of how difficult most of you find it to even enter the building let alone attend on a full-time basis.

We work on the principal of small steps, making you feel comfortable, and then making sure you reach your full potential.

It is important to realise that all learners who attend this school feel the same way as you, and go through the same emotions getting here. We work as a family, supporting each other, and giving space in equal measures without making it an issue.
