Many pupils’ English skills when talking, presenting and reading are developing well. A few pupils show their true abilities successfully when writing in Welsh and English. Many succeed in developing their mathematical concepts and information and communication technology (ICT) skills effectively. Teachers and assistants care purposefully for their pupils and provide loyal guidance and support for them and their parents. As a result, pupils feel very safe at the school and praise the school’s staff for their sensible care and their commitment to their needs and interests. They are also caring towards each other and respect their peers and adults. The headteacher has a sound understanding of the school’s needs. She recognises that aspects of teaching and planning need to be improved in order to raise standards. She and the governors have implemented a number of new plans to achieve improvements. These have not yet become fully embedded in order to have an effect on provision and pupils’ standards.
