Sketty Primary School is a caring, inclusive school that aims to support pupils to reach their full potential and 'be the best that they can be.' Most pupils including those with additional learning needs (ALN) make strong progress from their individual starting points and nearly all pupils develop their creative skills particularly well.

The school's curriculum promotes a strong sense of belonging, equity and diversity. Teachers listen carefully to pupils' ideas and suggestions and this ensures that the curriculum is authentic and meaningful to pupils. As a result, nearly all pupils engage enthusiastically with their learning and they begin to develop appropriate aspirations for the future.

Provision to develop pupils' cr...eative skills is a strength. Nearly all pupils behave well and participate enthusiastically in the school's various pupil voice committees and school council. Pupils' rights as children are embedded in the school's curriculum and this helps pupils to form their own opinions on a range of local and World issues.

Teachers and support staff are skilful and support pupils to develop a broad range of skills well across the curriculum. However, provision to develop pupils' speaking skills in Welsh is less well-developed. The school places strong emphasis on supporting the well-being of all.

Leaders and staff adopt a beneficial community focused approach providing a range of support for individual pupils and their families. Provision for pupils with ALN is a strength and leaders ensure that provision is suitably adapted to meet pupil needs. There is a strong culture of safeguarding and leaders robustly monitor pupil attendance.

The school is well-led by the headteacher, deputy headteacher and team of senior leaders who work purposefully alongside the governing body to secure improvements for the school. Together, they understand school strengths and areas for development and plan appropriate strategic actions to secure improvement. However, leaders' work to monitor the impact of improvement work on improving pupils' learning and progress is at an early stage of development.

Recommendations R1 Refine self-evaluation processes to ensure that leaders consistently identify the impact of improvement strategies on pupils' learning and progress R2 Improve pupils' Welsh speaking skills
