School Organisation

Greenfield school is the only special school in Merhyr Tydfil. We are a rapidly expanding school and we are now located on 4 sites three of which are in Pentrebach, and we are proud to announce the opening of our 4th site Campws Maes Glas in Merthyr Tydfil. Our pupils are aged between 3 - 19 years of age. At Greenfield and Maes Glas, we offer excellent provision for a wide range of pupils with special needs, including moderate, severe and profound learning difficulties, specific learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorders and pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Here at Greenfield and Maes Glas we create a strong sense of belonging that extends to our families and the local community. Our pupils are given opportunities to push their boundaries and develop skills for independence. We share and celebrate each other's efforts and success and support each other in our aspirations to achieve.

  • There are 4 school buildings consisting of the Primary Department, Secondary Department and Post 16 Department. We have 24 classes within the four departments. Pupils are grouped by key stage, ability and individual needs including:
  • Primary 1, Primary 2, Secondary 1, Secondary 2 and Post16.
  • Pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties are grouped to ensure their particular needs for a sensory curriculum are met alongside their medical needs.
  • Pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder are integrated as much as possible into key stage groups or, depending on the individual needs of the pupil, can be taught in a designated group.
  • Inclusion opportunities in mainstream lessons in local; schools and colleges are provided when deemed suitable.
  • Class sizes are significantly smaller than in mainstream school with a high staff pupil ratio. There is an average of 6-13 pupils in each class with 3-6 staff depending on the needs and abilities of pupils in that particular class.
