Nannerch V.C.P. School

Overview

Nannerch Primary is described as a "happy school" where pupils treat others with "politeness and respect" and demonstrate "very good" behaviour. The headteacher provides "effective, thoughtful leadership" within a federation structure, fostering a "caring, happy and secure environment" that helps pupils develop confidence. Most pupils make good progress in core skills, though the report notes that provision does not always allow for the development of independent writing.

Strengths

• Pupils are "keen to undertake tasks enthusiastically" and talk "confidently to adults about their work".
• Staff have a "good understanding of pupils’ needs" and prepare "interesting activities that engage pupils’ interests well".
• Older pupils become "very articulate" and "read well for enjoyment and research".
• The governing body exercises its duties "carefully" and has a "good understanding of the school’s strengths".
• Leaders collaborate effectively to implement a curriculum that is "authentic and reflects the needs of both communities".

Areas to improve

• Strengthen self-evaluation processes to focus more specifically on "the impact of teaching on learning".
• Provide more opportunities for pupils to develop their "extended writing skills".

Safeguarding

The report states that the school provides a "caring, happy and secure environment for pupils" and that leaders work towards fulfilling this vision, though it does not explicitly detail separate safeguarding procedures.
