Estyn Comments from the last Inspection October 2014:  

The school’s current performance: Good   

The school’s prospects for improvement: Good    

Good features in the school’s current performance include:   

• good performance in most indicators in key stage 4 over the last three years, which compares well with the average for similar schools;  

• the good progress most pupils make in developing their knowledge, understanding and skills in lessons and over time; 

• the very positive attitudes to learning shown by pupils; 

• consistently effective teaching that contributes significantly to the outcomes achieved by pupils;  

• the very good progress made by nearly all pupils in Welsh second language at key stages 3 and 4 and in the sixth form and  

• the caring environment, which has a positive impact on many aspects of pupils' wellbeing and personal development.    

The prospects for improvement are good because:   

• the school has a strong culture of self-evaluation and continuous improvement;  

• the school made significant progress in addressing recommendations from the previous inspection;  

• partnership working is a significant strength and has benefited the school and its pupils;  

• the headteacher encourages staff at all levels to share and develop their knowledge and expertise within and outside the school.
