Ysgol y Deri is the UK’s largest SEN school, catering for students with a range of learning and physical needs. Within its walls, students are welcomed with warmth, dignity and the belief that everyone has something extraordinary to offer, creating an environment that feels less like an institution and more like a family.
Stepping inside the school, the calm, natural world that surrounds the building is mirrored by a profound sense of peace within its hallways. The school is more than bricks and mortar; it is a community built on unconditional love, perseverance, and the kind of acceptance that transforms lives.
Supporting this exceptional setting, Atlas Education provides daily cleaning, specialist hygiene support, responsive out-of-hours assistance and tailored solutions designed for the sensitive school environment. Working quietly and reliably behind the scenes, the Atlas team ensure the large and complex site remains safe and clean, providing the consistent, nurturing environment its learners depend on every day.
The ‘Cleaning Excellence Awards’ are an annual celebration of the innovation and dedication driving the cleaning, hygiene, and facilities management sectors. It highlights the people, products, and ideas shaping the future of the industry.
On Wednesday, 3 December, the industry came together for an award evening that recognised organisations and individuals who are setting the benchmarks for excellence.
Atlas Education was shortlisted for two Cleaning Excellence Awards in its first full year of operations, the ‘Client Collaboration Award’ with Royal High Bath; and the ‘Going Above and Beyond Expectations’ Award with Ysgol Y Deri school. The business has grown rapidly this year, building on the success of various teams that Atlas integrated under the leadership of Managing Director, Donna Constance.
The Atlas Education team were honoured and incredibly proud to be awarded the ‘Going Above and Beyond’ Award for 2025.
This award category celebrates teams who consistently exceed expectations, whether through exceptional customer service, proactive problem solving or strong commitment.
Managing Director of Atlas Education, Donna Constance, commented:
“I am delighted that Atlas Education has been awarded the ‘Going Above and Beyond’ Award for their work with Ysgol Y Deri school. It’s a well-deserved recognition of a brilliant team of operatives and managers who work hard every day to ensure the school is supported. I’m incredibly proud.”
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this achievement. We have been proudly delivering cleaning services at Ysgol Y Deri for four years, and this award is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and heart you put into your work every single day.
