Homely school promotes pupils' well-being very successfully

A team from Estyn visited earlier this year and have published their report.

It states: "Nearly all pupils behave very well. They are polite and respectful towards others.

"They feel that staff support them well, listen to them and deal appropriately with any concerns they may have.

"Most pupils have positive attitudes to their learning and they listen well to teachers' instructions and concentrate diligently on their work during learning sessions."

The report adds that headteacher Sara David, her deputy, Catrin Pryce and the rest of the teaching team work together enthusiastically to encourage pupils to speak Welsh and to be proud of their Welsh identity. "The supportive and friendly working relationship between members of the teaching team and pupils is an excellent feature."

"They demonstrate high professional values and conduct which aim to ensure that pupils do their best on nearly all occasions," inspectors added.

"The curriculum is broad and interesting for pupils and develops their literacy, numeracy and digital skills well and encourages them to enjoy learning."

There is a close relationship between the school and parents, Cylch Meithrin Meini Bach and other local schools and these relationships ensure that pupils start primary and secondary school as confident and happy as possible.

Mrs David said: "I'm so pleased that the inspectors found our school to be a happy, safe and inclusive community where the wellbeing of our pupils comes first and it's a privilege to bring the language back to what was once a thriving Welsh community'

"All our pupils, staff and the wider community can be very proud of this report and I'd like to thank them for their continuous hard work."
