The Corporate Director for Education and Family Support presented a report informing Cabinet of the outcomes of the recent Estyn inspection visits to Afon y Felin Primary School, Pîl Primary School, Corneli Primary School and Brynmenyn Primary School. He explained that during the summer and autumn term 2022, Estyn visited 4 primary schools in Bridgend and judged all four schools as not requiring any follow up. He also reported that Connelly Primary School was asked to produce an effective practice case study on its work in relation to how the school supported the development of pupils understanding of financial awareness, for dissemination on Estyn’s website.

The Cabinet Member for Education thanked teachers, students, parents, carers and governors for their hard work and he highlighted some of the comments in the Estyn reports. 

The Leader congratulated all the schools involved and he thanked the commitment of teachers, staff and pupils and the dedicated group of staff supporting all those schools. The case study around the Credit Union would be shared in a press release.
