Cambian Dilston College

We love to speak about stories of success and the brilliant work our team do. Success can be measured in many different ways and our goal is to support the students in our care and bring out the best in them.

In this video Becky Miller, Deptuty Home Manager speaks about the success of a student who is about to take his exams and has had travel training to prepare for life after Dilston College.

Students develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours that they need to enrich their lives.

Ofsted Report June 2025 (Dilston College)

Can’t tell you what a difference being at College has made to our daughter. She has blossomed and come out of her shell. We think this is due to all the self-esteem building work the staff done with her. She couldn’t have been in a more caring environment; and this is the key to your success.

The care and support provided to young people is excellent. Care staff understand individual needs and consistently provide nurturing, responsive care that leads to positive outcomes and supports overall wellbeing.

CIW Inspection Report 2025 (Pengwern College)

Overall, we are really happy with how well X has settled in. He is obviously very happy there and he often tells us all that is going on. We have seen an absolute transformation in our son. He really has been thriving at his new placement and is beginning to once again believe that he has a future.
