About us

We exist to provide high quality day and residential placements to young people with additional learning needs and disabilities, as an independent specialist post-16 institution.

Bevan College was formed in 2023, as part of the Bridgend College Group (a wholly owned subsidiary). Prior to becoming Bevan College, specialist residential provision had been provided by Bridgend College for more than 45 years, via Weston House, founded in 1978. The identity of Weston House has been retained as the living spaces for students residing at Bevan College.

The College is regulated and inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and Estyn. We are also a member of the National Association for Specialist Colleges (Natspec). Oversight of the College and the monitoring of our strategic aims and quality is managed by our Board of Directors, who provide scrutiny, challenge and support.

    We work together as a team to achieve excellence through integrated care, support, education and training. We utilise systems to ensure that information is shared in a timely way, supporting our commitment to excellence, accountability and high professional standards. We listen and actively seek the views of students, their families and our community to help shape and improve our work.

We uphold high professional standards and trust each other, working collaboratively to ensure that our environment is happy and caring for everyone.

    We will create a place of belonging, where people show up for one another with care and respect. We will celebrate diversity and the rich value that this adds to our learning community. We will challenge limiting aspirations and assumptions; removing barriers and providing opportunities to grow and thrive.
