Ty Coryton

Ty Coryton is a specialist school located in Cardiff, Wales, serving children and young people aged 8 to 19 with complex needs associated with autism. The school provides an integrated day and residential service, blending education, care, and therapeutic support to meet the individual needs of its pupils. It is known for its caring and inclusive environment where pupils make progress aligned with their abilities and personal targets. The school emphasizes positive and calming classroom routines and a well-planned approach to skill development. Ty Coryton was established in 2008 on a site purchased in 2006, with a residential home built adjacent to the school. The school is part of Orbis Education & Care, which specializes in services for children and adults with autism. In 2024, the residential services were renamed Oakfield House, while the school itself became Birchwood School, continuing the legacy of Ty Coryton's educational approach.
