What Estyn said about Ysgol Glan Gele

Inspection report dated 1 January 2023

Overview

Ysgol Glan Gele is described as an “inclusive, caring community” where well-being is a priority, fostering a “supportive and warm atmosphere” that aids pupil engagement. Most pupils make “good progress” from their starting points, supported by a curriculum reflecting the principles of the Curriculum for Wales and strong collaborative working with external agencies.

Strengths

  • The school creates a positive environment where pupils demonstrate “excellent behaviour” and a “responsible attitude” in lessons.
  • Effective support is provided for pupils with additional learning needs, including “skilful teaching assistants” and collaboration with health and social care agencies.
  • Leaders have developed a curriculum that offers a “broad and balanced range of learning experiences,” including extra-curricular activities and educational visits.
  • Staff use questioning well to develop knowledge, and the governing body works effectively with the headteacher to support “ongoing improvement.”

Areas to improve

  • Teachers must further develop learning experiences to “meet the needs of all pupils” and provide “sufficient challenge in learning across the curriculum,” as activities do not always suitably challenge pupils.
  • The school needs to improve the provision for outdoor learning, which is currently “underdeveloped.”

Safeguarding

The report highlights that the school is an “inclusive, caring community where everyone’s well-being is a priority,” with a “supportive and warm atmosphere” contributing significantly to pupils’ readiness to learn and engagement.
