LLANFAIR PRIMARY SCHOOL

Overview

Llanfair Primary School offers a calm, peaceful environment where pupils feel safe, proud, and well-supported by caring staff. While pupils demonstrate exceptional oracy in English and positive behaviour, the report highlights inconsistencies in applying literacy and numeracy skills across the curriculum, alongside limited progress in Welsh and digital skills.

Strengths

• Pupils’ oracy skills in English are described as "exceptional" from nursery to Year 6.
• Behaviour is "exceptional," with pupils showing respect and collaborating successfully in class activities.
• The school community is characterised by a "caring nature of the staff" and mutual respect.
• Leaders have a "clear vision for school development" and are beginning to improve the learning environment and reading provision.

Areas to improve

• Ensure the curriculum builds skills "systematically and coherently," particularly improving Welsh and digital skills.
• Raise teachers’ expectations to ensure teaching "challenges all pupils, particularly those who are more able."
• Embed leadership at all levels to identify priorities and ensure self-evaluation processes are thorough.

Safeguarding

The report states that pupils "feel safe in school and confident that they can speak to any staff if they are concerned or worried."
