Pupils enjoy their time at Llandough Primary very much. This is because their teachers think of interesting activities for them to do and this makes learning exciting. As a result, most pupils make strong progress and achieve well. At Llandough Primary School, staff know and respect every child as an individual. This respect works both ways, and in classrooms the professional relationships between pupils and staff are particularly strong. In turn, this helps pupils to take responsibility for their progress and behaviour and contributes to their very positive attitudes to learning. The school is a diverse community and pupils develop confidence in their own, individual identity, while also developing a healthy respect for others. Pupils say that they feel safe, secure, and happy at the school. Teachers listen carefully to what their pupils want to learn about. They weave their interests into well-planned sequences of lessons that build sequentially on pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding. Whether indoors or outdoors, classrooms are productive, active learning environments. Pupils’ digital skills develop particularly well, and many use these skills effectively across all areas of their learning. However, pupils’ skills in speaking Welsh, and their pride in living in Wales or being Welsh, are less well developed. Leaders work well together and as a team they share responsibilities sensibly. As a result, there is an effective whole school ethos where most staff feel valued for their contribution. Recent work by the whole staff team to develop the school’s curriculum and make learning vibrant, ready for the implementation of the Curriculum for Wales, is testament to this ethos. Inspectors worked with school leaders to recommend improvements to the process for governors to review and evaluate school policy documentation, and for leaders to tighten the self-evaluation and improvement planning process.
