Estyn's report on its May 2022 inspection summarises Ysgol Corn Hir like this:

"The headteacher has a robust vision that supports staff to develop provision successfully while meeting the needs of all pupils. The school’s new motto: ‘E in dysgu, Ein dyfodol’ (‘Our learning, Our future’) permeates all of the school’s activities highly effectively. Developing staff and pioneering teaching and learning methods is at the heart of the vision, for example by introducing the Curriculum for Wales both inside and outside the school. This effective practice contributes soundly to purposeful co-operation between the school’s staff and the other schools in the cluster. Staff work together highly effectively to ensure that pupils are happy and enjoy learning in the classroom and around the school."

"They have high expectations of themselves in supporting the emotional, health and social wellbeing of all pupils. They guide pupils effectively so that they are immersed in and enjoy their learning experiences. However, provision does not always support pupils to make independent decisions about their learning. Staff use rich language and take advantage of every opportunity to support pupils to speak the local area’s natural dialect. This fosters pupils’ pride in the Welsh language and the local Welsh community successfully."

"Pupils value opportunities to discuss their learning experiences with leaders as staff continue to develop teaching and learning practices, for example as they receive wellbeing support in the ‘Cwt Clyd’. This has a positive effect on pupils’ wellbeing and learning experience as they treat each other and adults with respect in an inclusive learning environment. Report on Ysgol Corn Hir"

Estyn made 1 recommendation: (1) Provide regular opportunities for pupils to make independent decisions about their learning.
