Since the headteacher’s appointment, significant progress has been made in building trust and collaboration among staff, pupils, and parents, fostering a strong belief in the school's vision. While the school has strategic plans supporting this vision, many initiatives are still in the early stages of implementation, making it premature to assess their overall impact on the work of the school. Pupils enjoy being part of a diverse community, with opportunities for leadership roles and they enjoy a broad, balanced curriculum. Programs such as electives and co-curricular activities enrich pupils' personal and social development. This is a strength of the school. Lessons are generally focused and well-structured, fostering good pupil-teacher relationships, though around half of lessons lack opportunities for independent learning. The school's assessment practices provide timely feedback to pupils. However, these do not always indicate what pupils need to do to make further progress. Most pupils demonstrate strong writing and analytical skills, effectively completing tasks such as annotating texts and creatively expressing ideas through diary entries. Listening skills are generally good, although oracy skills are less well developed, with many pupils hesitant to engage in detailed responses. In mathematics, pupils show advanced ability, progressing from basic algebra to complex problem-solving. Pupils’ physical, artistic and musical skills are nurtured, including independently exploring creative projects. While pupils have strong digital skills their use across subjects is underdeveloped. Safeguarding practices are robust, with a dedicated team overseeing pupil welfare and regular training ensuring staff are well-prepared to address concerns. However, ongoing suitability checks for staff do not comply with recent legislative changes. Governance structures are sound. However, with the high number of leadership changes in recent time the Board of Management has not maintained a robust scrutiny of the work of the school, resulting in some compliance issues remaining unaddressed. The school does not comply fully with the Independent School Standards (Wales) Regulations 2024.
