What the school inspection says
“Caring for pupils’ wellbeing is given a prominent place at Ysgol Gyfun Penweddig. As a result, many pupils demonstrate respect for each other and positive attitudes to learning. Sixth form pupils are an asset to the school and model very positive behaviours and attitudes for younger pupils. Overall, many pupils make satisfactory progress in their literacy, numeracy and digital competence skills over time. Despite the period of instability in leadership over recent years, senior leaders, through their loyalty and perseverance, have succeeded in maintaining pupils’ standards of attainment and wellbeing. The headteacher’s vision of nurturing respect, Welshes and effort permeates all the school’s work.”
*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
