Frequently asked questions Get answers to common inquiries and valuable insights

The school has maintained its good quality of education since the last inspection.

The new headteacher has established well-devised priorities that are building on the school's successes.

The leadership team is committed, innovative and supportive of staff well-being.

Additional funding has been allocated to tackle the gaps in progress between disadvantaged pupils and their peers, with an emphasis on improving literacy skills.

The leadership of support for pupils with SEND is strong, and there have been notable improvements.

Attendance rates, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, are higher than national averages, but the school is working to address this with a more comprehensive overview of patterns.

The school's underlying philosophy is 'Bydh gwella gylli' or 'Be the best you can be'.

There are inconsistencies in the quality of classroom practice due to variations in the way teachers apply agreed policies, with limitations in some areas of teacher guidance.

Safeguarding is effective, with diligent adherence to safeguarding processes and a clear system for reporting concerns.

The next steps for the school include ensuring improvement plans have clear timescales and greater clarity on the impact of additional funding for disadvantaged pupils, continuing to challenge pupils who do not attend school regularly, and developing middle leaders' skills to support leaders in challenging more robustly where agreed strategies are not implemented.
