Estyn's report on its March 2023 inspection summarises Llanmiloe C.P. School like this:

"Llanmiloe Primary School is a happy school where pupils and staff feel valued. Most pupils, including those with additional learning needs, are enthusiastic learners and make strong progress. Leaders have a clear understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development and work diligently to make improvements that benefit all pupils. Nearly all pupils behave well, demonstrate good manners, humour and kindness to each other and adults. Staff value pupils’ opinions, are good language role models and provide good opportunities for pupils to talk and share their ideas. As a result, many pupils are confident and articulate, and develop strong oracy skills."

"Many pupils take on leadership roles and make positive changes for all pupils at the school. For example, they lead learning experiences such as sports activities or Welsh awards, which all pupils look forward to and participate in enthusiastically. Teachers plan engaging and interesting topics for pupils and these often reflect the rich heritage of the local area. They plan effectively for the ability range of pupils in each class and are working well together to develop and refine approaches to the Curriculum for Wales. Teachers know their pupils well. They make lessons engaging and as a result most pupils develop good attitudes to learning and are keen to share their achievements."

"However, teachers do not always ensure that pupils have good enough opportunities to improve the quality their work. A particular strength of the school is the strong sense of community between staff, governors, and families. This has been particularly important over recent months as the school has moved through a challenging period. There is a shared commitment across the school community to support its children and to help them become lifelong, ambitious learners who treat others well."

Estyn made 3 recommendations: (1) Improve approaches to teaching and assessment to challenge and engage all pupils in their learning; (2) Strengthen the role of middle leaders in improving teaching and learning across the school; (3) Embed opportunities for pupils to apply and deepen their numeracy skills across the curriculum.
