Following the inspection of Creunant Primary school in January 2025, the school, governors and Local Authority will be working in partnership to prepare a Post Inspection Action Plan (PIAP).

Estyn will then return and discuss the PIAP, agreeing on a final version. Following that, Estyn will then be visiting the school on regular intervals, judging the progress made against the four recommendations;

R1. Improve leadership at all levels

R2. Improve the quality of self-evaluation and improvement activities so that leaders identify, prioritise and address successfully the areas of the school’s work that are in most need of improvement

R3. Improve the quality and consistency of teaching and ensure that all staff have consistently high expectations of pupils

R4. Ensure that pupils develop their literacy, numeracy and digital skills progressively over time

As the school is in Special Measures, additional support will be needed in order to meet the recommendations, this process can take up to two years. This support will be agreed within the PIAP.

We will consider each aspect of the report and identify any areas of concern. We will celebrate the positive comments and observations noted in the report. We will work together to prioritise any urgent issues in relation to the recommendations and set realistic milestones to achieve improvement at an accelerated rate.

The school will engage with all stakeholders and partners to ensure transparency and improve communication.

Additional training will be made available, once identified through the PIAP in order to support the improvements needed in the recommendations.

We will work together to support the pupils, staff, senior leaders, headteacher, governing body and the local community in order for the school to be removed from Special Measures at the appropriate time by Estyn.

On behalf of the school, Governors and Local Authority.

Dear Parent / Carer

Next Friday (April 4th) we will be celebrating World Book Day. The pupil groups have been busy planning activities based around 5 different books which they have chosen:

Frankie’s Magic Football by Frank Lampard

Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Horrible Histories by Terry Deary

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

We wanted to ensure that celebrating this event is more than just dressing up. The pupils will have a fun day choosing activities related to these books. Will they want to dance like an Oompa Loompa, find the golden ticket, complete a Horrible History quiz or find the fox in the box? There will be many more activities which the children have planned and prepared for with lots of prizes too.  

Pupils can dress up as a book character, wear pyjamas or wear their favourite outfit.

We look forward to seeing how creative they can be.

Kind regards

Mrs. M. Teague
