Ysgol Harri Tudur / Henry Tudor School is delighted to announce that the school has been removed from the list of schools requiring significant improvement.

Estyn Inspectors decided that the school had made sufficient progress towards the recommendations in place since the last core inspection.

Ysgol Harri Tudur / Henry Tudor School Headteacher Fiona Kite, said: “The Governing Body of Ysgol Harri Tudur/ Henry Tudor School and I are delighted to share the outcome of the school's recent monitoring Estyn visit in January.

“Ysgol Harri Tudur/ Henry Tudor School is very proud of both our staff and our pupils and the achievements that we have made together since the 2018 core inspection.

“We would also like to thank many of our parents and carers and the wider community for their ongoing support.”

The Estyn report stated that there have been notable improvements in the quality of teaching and learning, pastoral care, and pupils' behaviour since the time of the core inspection.
