How Can I support my child at home ?

At Ysgol Bryn Gwalia we regularly offer parenting groups that focus on activities/learning opportunities that parents have requested.  We are always open to suggestions.  From the last few groups we gained insights into what families would like next.  One requested was an internet safety course and the other was cooking.  Both these groups have been found and allocated.

Here is a video to help support sleep times if your child struggles with bed time
