Developing a highly effective staff team
Senior leaders provide worthwhile opportunities for staff at all levels to develop professionally and to utilise their skill and expertise. They act as highly effective role models who mentor colleagues to lead on focused improvements. Leaders make valuable use of regular staff meetings to support teachers to reflect constructively on their practice and to build a clear understanding of what improvements are needed. Because of this, the school has successfully developed a highly professional staff team who show a strong capacity to lead and innovate effectively. This ensures that most planned changes are implemented effectively and impact positively on the quality of teaching across the school. The school has a strong track record of improvement, including against national priorities such as improving pupils’ Welsh language skills, developing the school’s curriculum, and increasing rates of pupils’ attendance.
