Highlights from Latest Inspection

Pupils at Penclawdd Primary School relish attending school.

They are keen to talk to adults and speak confidently about how proud they are of their school. Pupils feel safe and well cared for, and they trust that adults will always support them through tough times. During their time in school most pupils, including those with additional needs and those who are vulnerable, make good and often better progress in all areas of learning.

The school truly values the pupils' opinions. They have numerous opportunities to influence the work of the school and are thrilled to work alongside school leaders to bring about improvements. Pupils' well-being is at the heart of the school and staff work hard to ensure that the school is a t...houghtful and inclusive environment.

This inclusivity is shown by the positive relationships between staff and pupils. Teachers think carefully about how pupils learn best and employ a range of approaches to engage them successfully in their learning. All staff are developing their professional skills and knowledge together well.

This enables them to adapt provision to best meet individual pupils' needs. The care, support and guidance provided across the school community is exceptional and supports the school's vision, to 'bring out the best in each other'. The headteacher, shows strong and compassionate leadership.

Along with the support of school leaders and governors, she has developed an enthusiastic team of professionals that have a strong understanding of the needs of the pupils and the local community. Partnerships with parents are exceptional and the school has earned their trust, particularly when deciding the right approaches to adopt so that their children can thrive. Leaders and staff are clearly on their way to implementing a curriculum that is real and reflects the needs of the community.
