It was inspected by the schools inspectorate, Estyn, last October.Their report praised the school for its "caring and supporting ethos and a clear focus on the personal development and well-being of its pupils and staff.".They continued: “The school provides very strong and well-considered support for pupils’ well-being, physical, cultural and moral needs as well as their learning needs.“As a result, most pupils are happy and enthusiastic about coming to school.”Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi has also been praised for its use of the local area and community.: “Staff make excellent use of the outdoor spaces, the surrounding local area and community to develop engaging real-life learning experiences,” said the report.“Pupils benefit fully from the wide range of experiences offered in a unique location.”The school has now been invited by Estyn to prepare a case study on its work in relation to the school’s use of the wider outdoor environment and community to enhance pupils’ learning experience.
