Pont Fach Assessment Centre

Primary school pupils with extreme social, emotional and behavioural difficulties maybe assessed at the Pont Fach Assessment Centre. 

The centre at Maendy Primary School, in Cwmbran, is open to pupils from across the borough and offers bespoke part-time, short-term placement based on their individual needs. 

Staff complete a series of assessments to understand pupils’ emotional and behavioural needs and cognitive abilities where potential underlying issues have been identified. 

The centre can: 

• Make recommendations to school on ways forward re return to school 
• Liaise with Outreach if support is needed for a pupil returning to school 
• Liaise with Local Authority if return to school is not recommended 

Pupils are referred to Pont Fach by their school as part of a Additional Learning Needs graduated response.
