What Estyn said about Ysgol Bro Tryweryn

Inspection report dated 1 January 2024

Overview

Ysgol Bro Tryweryn is part of the Cysgod y Moel federation, where the teacher in charge has established a vision prioritising pupils’ well-being and skill development. The report highlights a positive school culture with respectful, well-behaved pupils who engage conscientiously in learning, supported by staff who know them well and share best practice across the federation. However, the inspection notes that governing body members do not always operate strategically enough, and leaders have not had sufficient time to fully address improvement priorities.

Strengths

  • Nearly all pupils are "very well behaved" and treat others with respect, contributing to class discussions "maturely and sensibly."
  • Staff maintain a "very productive working relationship" with pupils and hold regular meetings to share ideas and plan "interesting educational activities."
  • Pupils "enjoy school" and are willing to undertake the "stimulating and engaging experiences" provided for them.
  • Staff play a prominent part in an effective self-improvement process that develops their understanding of provision standards.

Areas to improve

  • Ensure that learning activities challenge pupils to achieve to the best of their ability, as the level of challenge is "not always appropriate."
  • Strengthen the effectiveness of leaders, including the governing body, so that they co-operate more strategically across the federation to address improvement priorities.
