Schools and other education settings recognised for their excellence
The awards recognised the 34 schools, colleges and other settings that were judged to be excellent for one or both of the overall judgements for current performance and prospects for improvement or in three or more inspection areas in the academic year 2016-2017.
Meilyr Rowlands says,
“Celebrating the excellence in our education system and recognising how it was achieved will help to inspire and drive improvement across Wales. The Estyn awards both commend hard work and commitment while highlighting strategies that lead to success. I recommend all education and training providers visit our website to explore case studies demonstrating excellence from the 34 schools and other education providers that achieved excellence during 2016-2017 inspections.”
