Dylan Thomas Community school is a popular and thriving school in the heart of its community.

The vision of the school is for pupils and staff to live, learn and achieve as a community and to create successful, well rounded young people ready for the World of further, higher education and work.

Our school is renowned for its excellent levels of pastoral care, support and pupil wellbeing and is a school that impacts positively upon each and every pupil during their time here. We look forward to welcoming you to our friendly and welcoming school.

Our school is a small 11-16 comprehensive set in beautiful surroundings in Cockett on the outskirts of Swansea.  At our school, we believe high quality education requires a healthy balance between challenge and support.  Our academic results have improved year on year and we can now be placed as the fastest improving school in Swansea.

We aim to instil in our students the traditional values that have inspired education in Wales – respect and a sense of justice and personal responsibility.  At the same time our school constantly adapts to the demands of an ever changing world.  We believe these values can only be developed in an orderly and settled school environment. 

We expect the highest standards of politeness, conduct and appearance. We aspire for all of our students to leave us with the best qualifications that they are capable of achieving with the values, morals and beliefs to lead successful lives and also with the skills required for life and employment in an ever changing global society. We place great value in our partnerships with parents.  We believe it is important to work together to ensure that the children receive the best possible education and are prepared for future life.
