Info

Pen-y-Cwm School is an English medium Blaenau Gwent Local Authority School. It was established in 1976 and caters for learners with learning difficulties. 

Some of the learners have additional needs such as Autistic Spectrum Disorders and physical or sensory difficulties.

Pen-y-Cwm School was once based on the same site as Beaufort Hill Primary School but in November 2012 the school moved and was co-located along with Ebbw Fawr Learning Community Primary Phase and Little Stars Nursery, in a purpose built facility based on the former steel works site in Ebbw Vale.

The design of our new Special School is bold, welcoming and accessible. The building is on two floors which creates a very different feel for the Primary and Secondary aged learners.

The school is landscaped to enhance and protect local biodiversity, landscape and water resources.

The main entrance and reception area to the school is shared with Ebbw Fawr Primary Phase. Learners however use a discrete entrance within the school’s private car park.

The following facilities are available:
 Hydro pool
 ICT facilities
 Sensory Rooms
 Rebound Therapy Room
 Gym
 Life Skills Room
 Specialist teaching areas such as a Design
Technology room
