Estyn's report on its February 2022 inspection summarises Clwyd Community Primary School like this:

"Nearly all pupils enjoy being at Clwyd Community Primary School and develop positive attitudes to learning. From relatively low starting points when they first join the school, they build a range of skills and strategies that supports them to make very good progress in most areas of learning and in their overall development as confident and ambitious young people. Pupils are proud to belong to the school and play a prominent role in influencing and shaping its life and work. Against the backdrop of the recent pandemic and the challenges that pupils and the community have faced, pupils’ progress and attitudes to learning are noteworthy. The school provides a rich, broad and balanced range of learning experiences and additional provision. This meets the educational and wider needs and interests of pupils very well. Teachers ensure that nearly all learning is purposeful and that, whenever possible, it enables pupils to use existing or newly learnt skills in real life contexts."

"This means that, as pupils move through the school, they develop a secure understanding of the relevance and importance of their learning. Teachers and support staff have very strong professional skills and knowledge. This includes specialist skills, for example in the school’s specialist teaching facilities that enable them to tailor provision to individual needs. Generally, teachers plan learning activities that challenge pupils at the right level. In a few instances, staff miss opportunities for younger pupils to learn through play and to develop their independence. The care, support and guidance provided for pupils are outstanding and support them to flourish at school. School leaders set a positive and ambitious tone for the school’s work."

"They place a high priority on supporting pupils and families to thrive. Partnerships with parents and specialist agencies are highly effective and make a profoundly positive difference to the school community. Leaders ensure that the school is inclusive, treating all pupils and all families with care, courtesy and respect through its actions and the opportunities it provides. School leaders promote collaboration and teamwork very well. This supports the school to plan and implement improvement strategy effectively. The school keeps its progress towards improvement goals under regular review although monitoring activity does not always focus sharply enough on the difference that this improvement work makes to pupils. Consequently, a few opportunities to drive further improvement in pupils’ skills, knowledge and understanding are occasionally missed."

Estyn made 3 recommendations: (1) Ensure that leaders evaluate the difference that improvement initiatives and day- to-day provision make to pupil progress; (2) Ensure that learning experiences and the learning environment promote free play, creativity and independence for younger pupils; (3) Address the site safety issue identified during the inspection.
