Headteacher

Hi, my name is Bethan Moore, Headteacher at Crownbridge Special School,

I have had the privilege of being Headteacher at Crownbridge School since January 2021. It gives me great pleasure to work at the school that I started over 18 years ago embarking on my special education career after working for 2 years in a Local Primary school in Newport.

Crownbridge has always been at the heart of special education in Torfaen and it has a long-standing reputation as a school, which opens its doors to share ideas and learn from others. We have a large team of dedicated professionals, who never cease to amaze me with their commitment and passion in ‘going the extra mile’ for our pupils, enabling them to reach their potential and beyond. We strive for them to reach their potential in becoming:

* ambitious, capable learners ready to learn throughout their lives

* enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

* ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

* healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

As the Headteacher, it is my aim to nurture and sustain this so that we continue to support and inspire our young learners well into the future, “together we live, learn and value”.

There are exciting times ahead for Crownbridge with our planned extension and we are working hard with the Local Authority, in preparation for the grand opening in January 2024.

We are committed to working as a learning organisation. We work alongside a very wide range of external partners to constantly evaluate what the school can offer our pupils and their families through a pupil centred curriculum. I am sure that, like me, the positive atmosphere in our school will impress you whenever you visit.

You will see me around the school during our school events or during the week to greet our pupils and families so do please say hello.
