Strengths
- “The Vaynor First School has high expectations for pupils.”
- “Pupils are ‘inspired to be the best they can be’.”
- “They work hard in lessons, take pride in their work and participate very well.”
To improve
- “However, at times they do not fully benefit from the curriculum.”
- “This is because the school does not always make effective use of strategies to check what pupils know and can do, and to move on to new learning as soon as they are ready.”
