Ysgol Bro Lleu is a happy, friendly and inclusive school that places a strong emphasis on respecting all members of its community.

Its vision of giving the best opportunity to all pupils permeates throughout all of the school's activity. As a result, pupils' attitudes to learning are positive and their behaviour is excellent. The well-being of pupils and staff is given a prominent priority in the school.

Staff have a sound awareness of the needs of all pupils and track their progress in great detail. As a result, most pupils make effective progress from their starting points. Staff include the views of pupils and parents, along with the local community, in developing an interesting curriculum for pupils.

The curri...culum focuses strongly on a sense of belonging to the local area, with valuable opportunities for pupils to apply their literacy and numeracy skills skilfully. As a result, nearly all pupils enjoy their lessons and are very willing to discuss their work. Teachers question pupils skilfully and provide them with valuable oral feedback to support and extend their learning.

This ensures that pupils are an integral part of improving their work. On the whole, standards of teaching are sound across the school. In the best practice, staff plan activities across the curriculum that provide opportunities for pupils to become curious and independent learners.

A notable aspect of the school's work is the way in which the headteacher has established robust arrangements to monitor and evaluate learning and provision. The whole staff are committed fully to the process, which means that they work in a climate of welcoming challenge to develop and improve their practices continuously. As a result, there is a positive culture of self-improvement at the school.
