Upstream Cymru

Mr S. Davies

Upstream Cymru is a project which aims to overall reduce youth homelessness across Wales. As
part of this project, NPTCBC Youth Service and Llamau – Wales’s leading homelessness charity –
work to implement preventative support services to children and families in a school setting.
As part of the project, children in year 10 will be invited to complete a Wellbeing Assessment
questionnaire. This aims to identify early indicators or factors that could affect their present or
future risk of homelessness and other wellbeing indicators. Questions will cover some aspects of
home life, how they feel about life at school and other areas of interest.

If you do not wish your child to take part in this survey, you must let us know.

Mobile Phones at Ysgol Bae Baglan

Mr S. Davies

We are writing to all parents to notify them of a change to our mobile phone policy. As part of our ongoing work to improve learning, wellbeing and safety across the school, the Headteacher and Governing Body have agreed a significant change to our approach to mobile phones and personal digital devices. From our return to school after February Half Term, pupils will no longer be permitted to use mobile phones or personal digital devices at any point during the school day. This includes from the moment pupils arrive on site until they leave the site at the end of the day, and it applies to all supervised school activities. Pupils can bring phones to school, but they should not be seen, heard or used at any time during the school day.

Full letter below.

Student Health and Well-being Survey 2025

Mr S. Davies

Every secondary school in Wales have signed up for Years 7-11 pupils to complete the Student Health and Wellbeing Survey this year. We have been completing this survey with pupils for many years and it gives us valuable insights and supports us providing support and resources in the areas it is needed most. It is made clear to learners that this is voluntary, and they do not have to take part if they do not want to. More information below.
