Highlights from Latest Inspection

The school is well led and has staff that know their pupils, their backgrounds and the local community very well. They promote a caring ethos where there is a strong focus on improving pupil well-being in a school where 'everyone matters'.

Leaders and staff work purposefully to make improvements, such as strengthening the support for pupils' well-being following the pandemic and in making progress towards implementing the Curriculum for Wales. As staff make continued improvements to the provision for pupils learning, many pupils make steady progress from their starting points. Generally, pupils' literacy, numeracy, digital, creative and physical skills all develop well, although a few aspects require the provision to be strengthene...d further, such as that to support pupils reading, writing and Welsh.

Teachers and staff provide effective care, support and guidance for pupils and often create worthwhile and exciting learning activities, particularly in the outdoor learning area. Here, well planned and purposeful activities provide a wide variety of high-quality experiences for nearly all pupils on a consistent basis, developing a range of beneficial skills. However, across the school, the teaching isn't always consistent in providing appropriate challenge for pupils to make as much progress as possible.

Teachers provide appropriate feedback for pupils, although it is not always clear what areas of the work needs to be improved for them to build on their skills systematically. Recommendations R1 Improve pupils' literacy skills, in particular their reading and extended writing skills R2 Strengthen provision to develop pupils' skills in Welsh from their different starting points R3 Ensure that teaching provides appropriate challenge for all pupils and that feedback helps them further improve their work What happens next The school will draw up an action plan to address the recommendations from the inspection. We have asked the school to provide a best practice case study on the use of the outdoor learning environment to support pupils learning and well-being.
