Ysgol Antur Cwm Celebrates Employer of the Year Victory at South Wales Business Awards 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Ysgol Antur Cwm has been named Employer of the Year at the South Wales Business Awards 2025. This honor reflects the collective effort and dedication of our team, who have made considerable progress since our opening just a year ago.

At Ysgol Antur Cwm, we prioritize creating a nurturing environment for pupils with Additional Learning Needs (ALN). Currently, our team includes 12 full-time staff members, a part-time tutor, and an accountant. An additional teacher will join us shortly, bringing our team to 13 full-time educators. This expansion enables us to provide even better educational support tailored to the diverse needs of our learners.

Winning the Employer of the Year award is a testament not only to what we have achieved but also to the commitment and passion displayed by each team member. Every staff individual plays a vital role in ensuring our pupils experience a safe and engaging environment.

“This award is about our people. Every member of our team gives their all for our pupils every day, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built together in such a short time.” – Gavin Lewis, Proprietor

The expertise and dedication of our team members are crucial to our success. They work diligently to ensure that each pupil feels valued and understood, fostering a sense of belonging that is essential for academic growth. This award celebrates their resilience and the strong culture of teamwork we have built, which is evident in our weekly staff collaboration meetings.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that await us. Our team is focused on continuous improvement and innovation in teaching methods. For example, we are exploring new technology that enhances learning experiences, aiming to boost educational outcomes over the next academic year.

Winning the Employer of the Year award underscores the significance of investing in our staff. We understand that when educators feel supported and appreciated, they can deliver the highest-quality education. This principle drives our mission at Ysgol Antur Cwm, and we have seen firsthand how it translates into exceptional outcomes for our pupils.

Furthermore, we are committed to engaging with our local community. Building connections with parents, local organizations, and other educational institutions is essential for creating a strong support network for our learners. In a recent initiative, we collaborated with a local charity to offer workshops, empowering our students and fostering a sense of community involvement.

As we celebrate this remarkable accomplishment, we acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead. The educational landscape is ever-shifting, requiring us to stay flexible and responsive to our pupils' needs. By prioritizing professional development and facilitating ongoing training, we ensure that our team is prepared to tackle these challenges effectively.

Being awarded Employer of the Year at the South Wales Business Awards 2025 is a significant milestone for Ysgol Antur Cwm. It reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who are committed to providing exceptional support for pupils with Additional Learning Needs.

We eagerly anticipate the future as our team continues to grow and our educational offerings expand across South Wales. Together, we will maintain an environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey; we look forward to the next exciting chapter in our story.
