Pupils at Ysgol Pen y Bryn primary enjoy coming to school and make strong progress in their academic and social skills. They are caring, tolerant and respectful towards each other and to adults. There is a feeling of mutual trust and respect between pupils and staff.

Pupils know that adults in the school care for them and that they can turn to them when they face challenges or have difficulties. Senior leaders have worked hard to create this calm and nurturing ethos and it plays a key role in ensuring effective learning in the school. The school provides a rich, broad, and balanced range of learning experiences and additional provision that meets the educational and wider needs and interests of pupils well.

Teachers take g...ood account of pupils' ideas when planning the curriculum and this helps to ensure that most pupils display high levels of interest and engagement in their learning. Staff ensure that most teaching is purposeful and enables pupils to use existing and newly learned skills in real life contexts. This means that, as pupils move through the school, most develop a secure understanding of what and how they are learning.

This is reflected in the work by the whole staff team to develop the school's curriculum ready for the implementation of the Curriculum for Wales.
