Most pupils’ English skills when discussing, presenting written work and reading are developing well. A few pupils show their true abilities successfully when writing at length in Welsh and English. Most develop their mathematics and concepts of numeracy effectively, and their information and communication technology (ICT) skills show their confidence and ability purposefully. Teachers and assistants care for their pupils loyally and provide reliable care and support for them and their families. As a result, pupils feel safe at school. They are very grateful to the staff for their commitment towards their needs and interests. They also care for each other and respect their peers and adults. The headteacher has a sound understanding of the school’s needs. She works very closely with the assistant headteacher. As a result, they build sensibly on the school’s strengths and improve areas for development wisely through robust quality improvement procedures.
