As you may recall, we were inspected by Estyn in November 2023. We are so proud of our school!
We are extremely proud of the recognition of the high standards of Welsh speaking skills in our school, highlighting that the provision for developing Welsh is a strength.
As all schools we have areas to further develop and strengthen and we will use these to continue with our improvement journey.
