The combined total of schools will be three, with separate contracts needed for each one as part of this tender project. The schools which are outlined below will be moving into the Fairwater Campus, which is currently being built and will be completed in time for January 2026 when Cantonian High School will be moving in. The combined value of the tender project is approximately £433,000.00 per annum. Please note that this is likely to increase in line with the move to the new building. Overview of Western Learning Federation The Western Learning Federation is unique as we are the only special school federation in Wales, made up of Riverbank School, Ty Gwyn School and Woodlands School. The federation brings together three schools - all unique in their own right all working together with shared values and a determination to provide outstanding education to pupils with additional learning needs. Whilst Riverbank, Ty-Gwyn and Woodlands all have their own school visions and identities, there will be a direct link to those of the Western Learning Federation and as such, these school visions must and are considered a part of the vision of the Western Learning Federation. Please note that Ty Gwyn School will not be part of this tender project. The two schools within the Western Learning Federation will be moving into the Fairwater Campus from September 2026 so please note that a catering contract and service will not be required until this point. Mission Statement Working together to grow, learn and achieve is our mission statement that we originated from Welsh Government vision for schools as learning organisations. We have embedded this mission statement into our vision, values and principles and it is the values that have shaped our strategic plan as we move through the decade since federating.
