Bedwas High School

Transition

Welcome to our virtual Open Evening for Summer 2022. 

Transition is a part of life we all deal with in our own ways. To make transition easier for students and parents/carers alike, communication is vital. At Bedwas High School we understand the importance of keeping everyone involved in the transition process and we aim to make this a positive experience for all involved. Some of our aims during transition are:

• Preparing for change
• Building confidence
• Working as a team
• Assisting learning, social and intellectual development

To give you an introduction and more information about our school we have created some videos for you to watch. These include:
