Ysgol Santes Fair is a caring school, which encourages pupils to be happy and enjoy school, whilst learning in a warm and inclusive environment. Pupils participate readily in the tasks provided for them and use effective strategies and resources to learn productively. This is due to the purposeful working relationships that exist with most of their teachers and other staff. Where learning is particularly successful the teaching is engaging, vibrant, exudes positivity and staff have high expectations of pupils. However, the quality of teaching and the planning of the curriculum is not effective in every class. Additionally, the impact of teachers’ feedback on the next steps in pupils’ learning is inconsistent across the school. Most staff provide strong support, care and guidance for pupils in all aspects of school life. This encourages pupils to focus responsibly on their individual learning and well-being. Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable, and they are motivated to become ambitious and capable learners. As a result, they develop good speaking, listening reading and creative skills. They also develop suitable writing skills and their digital and numeracy skills across the curriculum are satisfactory. Staff use areas of the extensive school grounds effectively. However, the provision of learning experiences in the outdoors for younger pupils is underdeveloped. The headteacher leads the school with the pupils’ care and well-being at the heart of his vision. He is motivated to succeed for the benefit of pupils and the school’s community. The senior leadership team, most of the staff and the governors share his nurturing philosophy. They aim to ensure that the school is a positive learning community that promotes beneficial opportunities for pupils. Leaders evaluate the school's work thoroughly, using well-planned selfevaluation processes, which lead to effective development plans. These monitoring practices lead to relevant training opportunities for staff to develop their skills through purposeful professional learning courses.
