N eath is allowed by all antiquaries to have been the Niduum of the Romans, and derives is name from the river whereon itissituated, and of which the Welsh name "Nidd,., or "Nedd,"is pronounced as the English N eath. In the twelfth journey of Anto nius it is mentioned, under the above name, as being situated on the Roman road between Leucarum (Loughor) and Bovium, at or near the present ·dllage of Boverton, to the S. of Cowbridge. After the. conquest of Glamorganshire by Fitz-Hamon, Richard de Granville, one of his knights, obtained a grant of the honour and lordship of Neath, with the privilege of exercising jura regalia and all the other rights of a lordship marcher. Several sanguinary battles have been fought in the neighbourhood between the natives and their Norman oppressors. In the reign of Stephen, the British forces, headed by the sons ef C~radoc ap Testyn (whose lordship extended from the Tawe to Afon), here attacked the Norman lords with great spirit, and put them to rout so complete]y that all who escaped the sword le<\ for an asylum to the various castles of Gower.

36Acorn Directory of Services Neath Port Talbot.Pdf
FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Aspires to Deliver an Inclusive Education Service That Celebrates Diversity and Respects Everyone’S Right to Education
Appendix A Admission to Community Schools 2019/2020 1. Introduction The Council is the admission authority for all community maintained schools in the County Borough. As admission authority, the Council determines the criteria that will be applied when allocating places at community schools. This document sets out the admission arrangements that will apply during 2019/20 for: nursery classes based at community primary schools; community primary schools; community secondary schools; and the Welsh-medium sixth form at a community secondary school. For voluntary aided (i.e. Faith) schools, it is each school’s governing body that determines the admission arrangements, details of which can be obtained from the respective governing body. This policy document sets out the principles underpinning the admission arrangements for community schools together with the procedures and the timetables for admission during the 2019/20 school year (appendices 1, 2, 3 & 4). Further details to assist parents in applying for a school place choosing a school for their child will be set out in the ‘Information for Parents Handbook 2019/2020’ which will be available to parents in October 2018, prior to the application date. The handbook will contain important information about schools in the County Borough including their admission numbers, the catchment areas they serve together and their partner school arrangements. The handbook also contains the published admission arrangements for individual voluntary aided (i.e. Faith) schools. In this respect, the ‘Information for Parents Handbook 2019/2020 forms an integral part of the information available to parents on school admission. 2. Context Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council aspires to deliver an inclusive education service that celebrates diversity and respects everyone’s right to education.

Octoberfest’ at Neath Port Talbot Libraries
‘Octoberfest’ at Neath Port Talbot libraries Objectives The main objective of this project was to increase the positive profile of our libraries thorough out the community by promoting our services to new sectors of the community. We were going to achieve this through the organisation of events/activities that would have the broadest appeal to members and non-members. We wanted to entice non-members into our 17 branches while also rewarding our current members (both adults and children). A decision was also made to try and involve outside agencies to try and increase the libraries appeal to organisations who may like to use libraries as venues in the future and to provide professionally organised activities. Summary NPT libraries marketing group decided early in 2009 that they wished to organise a library festival at the end of the year which would help promote our services and encourage non-members to visit our libraries. Neath Port Talbot includes 17 branches in a variety of communities and the easy option would have been to concentrate events in our three main branches but this was another objective-inclusion of all our branches. The decision to hold the festival during October was to coincide with the launch of the ‘Express Yourself’ Welsh arts competition, to allow NPT to combine the publicity for the two projects. Craft Activities It was decided that the festival would include free events/activities that would appeal to a variety of borrowers to ensure the broadest appeal. Craft activities for both adults and children were to play a prominent part in the festival.
