Deighton Primary and 艾叉A片 Council have welcomed a very positive Estyn report which has praised the school for being a stimulating, engaging and nurturing learning environment for all pupils.
The recently published report comes following an inspection at the Tredegar school in December 2023.
It says school leaders, staff and governors of Deighton Primary have worked effectively as a community to develop an inclusive school focused on raising aspirations for all pupils and developing them as resilient, lifelong learners. Relationships between pupils and adults are strong, and the school鈥檚 partnership with parents is outstanding. The support for pupils with additional learning needs, and those who are vulnerable, is effective. Pupils appreciate the high-quality care and support when they experience social and emotional difficulties.
Staff provide a wide range of authentic learning experiences and capture pupils鈥� interests by giving them carefully considered opportunities to influence what they learn.
Headteacher, Mr Huw Waythe says:
鈥淚 am extremely proud of this report. Our whole school community has worked tirelessly to ensure that our pupils receive the best possible start in life. I鈥檓 delighted that the report recognises our dedicated staff and Governors and the work they do to provide our learners with a range of experiences that they might not ordinarily have.鈥�
Councillor Sue Edmunds, the Council鈥檚 Cabinet Member for People & Education says:
