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:

  1. Improve attendance for pupils eligible for free school meals
  2. 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.
