Coed Glas is an exceptionally caring and inclusive primary school where all pupils are encouraged to succeed in all aspects of learning. Pupils who attend the Hearing Impairment Learning Resource (HIRB), have English as an additional language (EAL), and those in need of additional support in learning have positive attitudes to learning. They enjoy taking part and benefit from the worthwhile learning experiences provided by staff. Pupils benefit from well-being sessions provided at the beginning of every day. These sessions support them to develop their social skills and engage in learning. The nurture support provided in the ‘Nest’ is a highly effective provision to best meet the well-being needs of pupils. In general, with the support of skilful and well-trained staff, many pupils make suitable progress in developing their skills during their time at the school. A strength of the school is how the staff work together as a team to provide an attractive and calm learning environment for pupils. A particular strong feature of the provision are the authentic and purposeful experiences that are provided for nursery age children. The enhanced understanding of child development encourages staff to adapt provision consistently to best meet the children’s stage of development. This supports children effectively to develop their language and independent learning skills within a short period of time. Overall, teachers plan literacy, numeracy and digital activities through established routines and structured sessions to support pupils to make progress in these skills. However, teachers do not always deliver meaningful opportunities for pupils to use and apply these skills in child-initiated and engaging learning contexts across the curriculum. As a result, a minority of pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable, for example in speaking Welsh, developing their writing and applying digital skills. Leaders have a clear vision and a strong understanding of the strengths and areas for development of the school. The effective and compassionate leadership of the acting headteacher is based on high aspirations and support for pupils and their families. As a result, the school is an integral and an important part of the diverse community.
