We know that when a young person joins our college, their whole family is part of the journey. That’s why we keep communication open, expectations clear and support consistent so you always feel informed and involved.
Below, you’ll find practical information about day-to-day life at Aspris College South Wales.
Our college day is structured to support focus, balance and wellbeing:
Monday to Thursday: 9am - 4pm
These hours help young people manage their energy, build routine and still have time to rest or reflect at the end of the day. Learners attending mainstream courses will have a timetable that covers Monday-Friday and Aspris is open on Fridays for these learners to access facilities.
We don’t have a compulsory uniform. Instead, students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that suit their needs.
We’ve learned that this flexible approach helps reduce anxiety and allows students to express themselves while feeling safe and ready to learn.
Students have lots of options and can either bring in their own lunch or buy from a local shop. We also have a student led on-site coffee shop where students can purchase food from Monday to Thursday. Learners can access the cafeteria at Coleg Gwent nearby and also have access to a shared kitchen at Aspris where they can use kettles, microwaves and hobs and store food in a fridge and freezer.
I really appreciate what everyone does to help my son during his time at college. He has amazing support from you all, thank you so much!
