Helping Your Autistic/ADHD Child Thrive - Different Not Less
An inclusive workshop for parents who want to better understand ADHD, autism and neurodivergence
An inclusive workshop for parents who want to better understand ADHD, autism and neurodivergence whether your child has a diagnosis or you just want to find out more.
This supportive session explores how neurodivergent children may experience the world differently in their thinking, attention, emotions, sensory processing and communication.
In this workshop we will:
Understand behaviour through a neurodiversity lens
Explore attention, regulation and executive functioning
Consider sensory and language differences
Share practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and build psychological safety
The aim is to help you feel more confident in understanding, supporting and advocating for your child, with practical ideas you can use straight away.
The session will be facilitated by Siwan Etheridge, a Neurodevelopmental Specialist and Speech and Language Therapist with 16+ years’ experience across health and education. She is the founder of the Swansea-based practice The Way I Learn, supporting children and families with speech, language and neurodevelopmental needs.

FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER
Fri 27 Feb 2026Dear Parents and Carers,
As we come to the end of a very busy February, we’d like to share and celebrate some of the wonderful successes across the school this month.
Our children took part in a range of activities during Internet Safety Day, helping them learn how to stay safe online. Their engagement, questions, and thoughtful discussions were truly impressive. Children have also explored the importance of wellbeing, expressing their feelings through creative tasks and class discussions. We are so proud of their maturity and kindness.
The excitement is building as we get ready for St David’s Day, Dydd Gwyl Dewi and our Eisteddfod! The children have been busy practising, creating artwork, and learning about Welsh culture and traditions. We can't wait until the Eisteddfod Day to find out the results of the competitions. Good luck everyone!
A huge well done to our rugby and football teams, who played with determination, teamwork, and fantastic sportsmanship in their recent matches. They represented the school brilliantly! I would also like to extend a warm thank you to all parents and carers who visited the school to see the children’s work. Your support means so much to us and to the children. And finally, a big thank you to all our dedicated staff and governors for their hard work this month, and to our fabulous children for their effort, enthusiasm and positive attitudes.
Here's to looking forward to lighter mornings and better weather as we enter March one of the busiest times of the year!

EISTEDDFOD COMPETITIONS - YSGOL SGETI
Sun 15 Feb 2026Eisteddfod competitions Ysgol Sgeti 2026
Theme – Breuddwydion (Dreams)
Once again this year, our Ysgol Sgeti competitions will fall in line with the Urdd Eisteddfod which is being held at Ynys Môn. By doing this, we will be able to enter many of the Urdd Eisteddfod competitions with the same work the children produce for their school entry.
The table below shows the year group, category and the strict rules and guidelines that must be followed. A selection (first, second and third) of school entries will be put forward to the Urdd Eistedddfod competitions. Pupils may also enter the additional competitions at the bottom of the table, but they should complete their Year group challenge first.
This year’s Eisteddfod theme is “Dreams / Breuddwydion.” We are inviting all pupils to think about what dreams mean to them. It could be a dream they have while they sleep, a dream for their future, a dream for their family or school, or even a dream for a kinder, more peaceful world. Pupils of all ages can explore this theme. We encourage families to talk with their children about the dreams that matter most to them, helping to inspire their creative work for the Eisteddfod.
Any words and writing included on a piece of work MUST be in Welsh or they are unable to be entered at the Urdd level.
All pieces of work should be clearly labelled on the back with the child’s name, age, Year group and date of birth.
