Partnership working
The headteacher has a clear understanding of the needs of the school and its community and successfully creates a strong team ethos where everyone works together to enhance the learning opportunities and life chances for pupils and their families. Leaders work exceptionally well with partnership agencies to offer valuable support to families. Regular family festival days involve external agencies who offer advice and support for families, including housing support, advice from mental health services, access to the local food bank and affordable food from the local community farm. In addition to this, links with the Swans football group and local university successfully enhance pupils’ experiences and help to raise aspirations. This is further enhanced when past pupils visit the school to talk about their education pathway and successes.
