ESTYN REPORT MARCH 2025
We’re delighted to announce that our recent Estyn inspection recognised Bryntirion Comprehensive School as a caring, inclusive and high-performing school.
Key highlights from the report include:
- Strong, supportive relationships between staff and pupils
- High-quality teaching and effective leadership
- A broad, engaging curriculum with effective well-being provision
- National recognition for our health and well-being curriculum – Estyn has invited us to write a case study to share our approach across Wale
- A vibrant sixth form, meaningful pupil leadership, and rich extra-curricular life
- Improving attendance and strong pastoral care – particularly for pupils with ALN through The Hive
- Beneficial provision for literacy, numeracy, digital skills and bilingualism
- A positive culture rooted in “Be Bryntirion” values: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, Be Successful
Estyn made two recommendations – both already in our development plan:
- Improve attendance for pupils eligible for free school meals
- Refine Year 9 curriculum arrangements for greater depth in a few subjects
This report reflects the dedication of our pupils, staff and families. Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to build a school we are all proud of.
