Congratulations to St Joseph’s RC Primary School in Tredegar on their excellent Estyn report. St Joseph’s was described as a happy, inclusive school which places a high importance on the wellbeing of pupils and staff.
Strong relationships between pupils and staff were highlighted as a strength of the school with staff knowing pupils well. The school has a strong provision for pupils with Additional Learning Needs and offers a curriculum which is engaging and provides interesting learning opportunities for pupils to build their knowledge and skills. Safeguarding arrangements are robust, and children feel happy and safe, the report found.
Headteacher John McMorrow says:
“I am immensely proud that Estyn have recognised the hard work and dedication of our staff and pupils, with well-being at the heart of everything we do. As a school we strive to ensure our pupils are resilient and enthusiastic lifelong learners. Staff and pupils work closely together to promote our Catholic values to create a welcoming and inclusive school which is open to all children. We offer a fulltime Nursery with places available for September 2025.”
Councillor Sue Edmunds, Cabinet Member for People & Education says
“This is a truly excellent report for St Joseph’s and for the whole school community – well done to everyone involved.”
