Cardiff Airport has received recognition from the Ysgol y Deri Parent Teacher Association, in appreciation of its dedication and support for students and their families.
The award, presented on behalf of parents at the specialist school in the Vale of Glamorgan, is said to highlight the Airport’s commitment to building inclusive opportunities for young people with additional learning needs.
Cardiff Airport is currently supporting three students from Ysgol y Deri who are undertaking work placements with the Airport’s Terminal Operations teams. The placements provide students with valuable experience of a busy operational environment, while helping them develop confidence and workplace skills.
Angela Hewitson, Terminal Manager at Cardiff Airport, accepted the certificate on behalf of the Airport’s Accessibility and Special Assistance Team.
“Receiving this recognition from the parents of Ysgol y Deri means a great deal to all of us at Cardiff Airport, particularly our Special Assistance Team, who work so hard to ensure everyone feels welcome and supported when travelling through the Airport.
“We’re absolutely delighted to currently have three fantastic students from the school working with our Site Support and Executive Lounge teams. They’ve made a wonderful impression already, and it’s been fantastic to see their confidence grow as they gain experience of working at the Airport.
“This partnership is incredibly important to us. Being able to support opportunities that make a positive difference to students and their families is something we are very proud of, and we look forward to continuing to grow our relationship.”
Chris Britten, Headteacher of Ysgol Y Deri, added: The school community is tremendously grateful to Cardiff Airport for giving our pupils an opportunity form meaningful work experience. The team at the airport are welcoming and enthusiastic and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future. ”
Cardiff Airport remains committed to working closely with local schools and community organisations to create inclusive opportunities and meaningful experiences for young people across the region.
