Headteacher News - 26/9/25

Congratulations  to our Senedd members.  We are excited to have our new members for this academic year. A special well done to our First Ministers, who were appointed after a rigorous interview!

🌟We are exceptionally proud of Penclawdd Primary! 🌟

We are delighted to share that Penclawdd has been recognised in Estyn’s brand-new national report on Teaching the Curriculum for Wales. Click here to read the full report !

Our school is featured as an example of effective practice for our self-evaluation and reflection (pp. 35–36), with a special mention on p. 21 for the rich language opportunities provided to our youngest learners. It’s a privilege to be recognised nationally – with Penclawdd Primary featured alongside a Swansea comprehensive school. ✨

This recognition reflects the hard work and commitment of our staff, the support of our governors, and the amazing children and families who make Penclawdd such a special school community. 🏫❤️🖤

We are so proud to see our journey showcased nationally – a true celebration of what we have achieved together! 🎉❤️🖤
