Ysgol Gynradd Beaumaris, Beaumaris

Ysgol Gynradd Beaumaris is a Welsh-medium school in Wales. Welsh schools are inspected by Estyn rather than Ofsted, and its latest report is published on Estyn's website.

It had 35 pupils in the 2025/26 school census.

36% of pupils are eligible for free school meals (three-year average).

Year groups range from 1 pupils (Year 5) to 8 (Year 6).

Its delegated budget for 2026-27 works out at £11,212 per pupil, against £7,861 in 2021-22. It carried forward £28k of reserves at the end of 2024-25.

Estyn's report on its November 2022 inspection summarises Ysgol Gynradd Beaumaris like this:

"Nearly all pupils enjoy school and take pride in it. They are confident that the school responds promptly to any concerns they may have. Nearly all pupils are polite and thoughtful, behave very well and treat their peers and visitors with respect and care. This is a strong feature of the school. A close and supportive working relationship can be seen between staff and pupils. Teachers know the pupils well and, on the whole, provide them with appropriate support."

"However, in the school’s upper years, they have a tendency to over-direct learning, which limits pupils’ independence. Teachers do not always have high enough expectations in terms of what pupils are able to achieve, particularly in developing their literacy and numeracy skills. In the school’s lower years, staff plan a range of purposeful and stimulating activities that engage pupils’ interest effectively. However, across the school, teachers do not plan thoroughly enough to improve pupils’ Welsh literacy skills, particularly their oral skills. This has a negative effect on pupils’ ability to communicate in Welsh in formal and informal situations. In addition, in the school’s upper years, teachers do not plan effectively enough to develop pupils’ mathematics skills and provide regular opportunities for them to develop their skills across all areas of learning and experience."

"As a result, pupils’ numeracy skills are limited. With recent support from the regional consortium, leaders, including members of the governing body, are beginning to develop a suitable understanding of the school’s main strengths and some areas for improvement. However, leaders have not monitored the school’s work thoroughly enough or held staff to account for the quality of provision and pupils’ outcomes. Self-evaluation and planning for improvement processes have also failed to address important issues in provision, including recommendations from the previous inspection. Although leaders have begun to implement procedures, they are reliant on external support to act on priorities for improvement and monitor progress."

Estyn made 6 recommendations: (1) Respond to the health and safety concerns relating to the school grounds; (2) Develop the leadership responsibilities of members of staff and governors so that they act more strategically; (3) Improve self-evaluation and planning for improvement processes to identify all the school’s areas for improvement to raise standards and strengthen provision; (4) Raise the standards of pupils’ Welsh across the school, particularly their oral skills; (5) Plan purposeful opportunities for pupils to develop their skills across the curriculum; (6) Provide more opportunities for pupils to make decisions and take responsibility for their own learning in order to develop into independent learners.
