LLANIDLOES C.P. SCHOOL

Overview

Llanidloes Primary School is described as a “caring and welcoming community” where pupils demonstrate “positive attitudes to learning” and pride in their school. Effective leadership and strong teamwork among staff create an environment where most pupils make “sound progress” in developing key skills, particularly in oracy, Welsh, and digital capabilities.

Strengths

• Pupils develop “strong oracy skills in English from an early age” and build their reading skills well.
• Nearly all pupils develop their Welsh listening skills “very well” and become “increasingly confident speakers”.
• Most pupils develop their number skills well and apply a “good range of digital skills” to their work.
• Teachers deliver “interesting and engaging lessons” with a special emphasis on local community and Welsh culture.
• Most pupils develop their artistic and creative skills “very well” through expressive arts opportunities.

Areas to improve

• Improve pupils’ writing skills in English, as accuracy is “too variable” and older pupils lack opportunities to write at length.
• Provide more purposeful opportunities for pupils to improve their work in response to feedback, as written feedback is currently “less effective”.
