Cambian Pengwern College Environment

Cambian Pengwern College is set in 29 acres of beautiful North Wales countryside near the historic village of Rhuddlan, close to the popular resort towns of Prestatyn and Llandudno. The college benefits from good rail / bus links and road networks.

We understand that residential colleges can never replace home but we make every effort to create a welcoming, family environment where learners feel safe and comfortable.

Our accommodation provides the necessary step between leaving home and community living that most young adults take during their transition to adulthood.

Learners live close to the college, and as their confidence and independence grows they are able to progress through the range of residential settings available at the college. We encourage learners to personalise their bedrooms with posters and photos and take responsibility for keeping their rooms tidy.

Residential students work towards practical living skills, healthy living, personal finance, improving manners and conduct, personal safety awareness, accessing local facilities, effective communication and working as part of a team.

Our facilities include a library, an Independent Living Skills area and a Sensory Room.

Sensory Room

Our sensory room is a therapeutic environment that offers learners a controlled and quiet space away from the bustle of college life: a place where they can fully relax and increase or decrease their sensory
experience as they require.

It is a calming environment which utilises interactive lighting, bubble tubes, soft seating, mirrors, weighted blankets, rollers and balls to develop body awareness and balance. Our multi-disciplinary team use the sensory room to teach learners calming techniques and how to use them in different environments.

Clinical Team

Our health care Clinical Team, Nurse, Occupational Therapist and Speech and Language Therapist ,play a key role in making sure learners health needs are supported as well as meeting their therapeutic needs, supporting communication and holistic wellbeing
