Highlights from Latest Inspection

Caersws Community Primary School is a friendly and caring environment where all pupils feel happy and safe. Staff know the pupils well and support their well-being needs effectively.

Pupils know who to ask if they need help and there is a strong relationship of trust and respect between them and the staff. Nearly all pupils behave extremely well and have positive attitudes to learning. Staff work very well together to ensure all pupils make good progress during their time at school.

Teachers plan engaging and stimulating activities which inspire pupils to learn and develop their skills. They make effective use of the outdoor areas to enhance the provision for all learners and make good use of the locality to teach pupils a...bout the environment, history and culture of the area in which they live. Following these experiences, teachers plan purposeful opportunities for pupils to develop their literacy, numeracy and digital skills across all areas of the curriculum.

However, provision for the teaching of Welsh skills are under developed. Teachers plan valuable opportunities for pupils to develop their creative and physical skills which enrich their learning experiences and develop their confidence. However, teachers need to provide more purposeful opportunities for all pupils to lead their own learning.

Leaders have a clear vision of how they want to move the school forward. They have a robust system for evaluating the school's strengths and set ambitious targets for improvement. Leaders emphasise the importance of teamwork in order to raise pupils' standards and well-being.

They make sure that they listen carefully and take on board the views of others. As a result, pupils, parents and school staff feel well supported, included in the decision-making process and that their contributions are valued.
