Cornist Park CP School is a happy and caring community where pupils work and play together confidently. Staff focus well on pupils’ well-being, and this allows pupils to thrive in the school’s inclusive environment. Pupils say that they feel safe, secure, and happy in school. They know that adults in the school care for them and that they can turn to them when they face challenges or have difficulties. Support for pupils' emotional well-being is highly effective. This is particularly evident in the positive encouragement staff provide for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN). Staff have worked hard to create a calm and nurturing ethos, which contributes to effective learning. Most pupils behave well and show positive attitudes to learning. They form strong relationships with adults and one another and show respect and courtesy for all members of the school community. Classrooms and outdoor spaces are productive, active learning environments. This ensures that most pupils focus well in lessons and demonstrate interest in their learning. Teachers and support staff plan engaging learning experiences that help to ensure most pupils make good progress with their skills during lessons and over time. They listen carefully to what pupils want to learn and weave their ideas into well-planned sequences of lessons that build systematically on pupils’ knowledge and understanding. Most teaching is purposeful and enables pupils to develop their skills in real life contexts. However, the provision to develop pupils’ Welsh language skills and numeracy across the curriculum is less well developed. School leaders have high expectations of themselves and everyone within the school community to do their best for pupils. There is a strong culture of professional learning embedded across the school where teachers and support staff’s talents and interests are developed and valued. Leaders know the school well and are open and honest about its strengths and areas for improvement. For example, the school recognises a need to improve how it challenges pupils to achieve to the best of their ability and to ensure that feedback to pupils helps to move them forward with their learning.
