THE HEADTEACHER of a primary school in Llandudno has reassured parents and other members of the community after a safety concern was raised by an Estyn inspection.

Ysgol Morfa Rhianedd, at Cwm Road, was visited by the Welsh education inspectorate in March, with a report published in May.

The report into the school noted that inspectors had “brought an issue relating to the safety of the school’s site to the attention of the school’s leaders” during the inspection.

They also recommended that this issue be “addressed” – it is not known what the specific safety concern refers to.

However, the report did praise the school for being an “effective learning environment” and “supportive community”.

It also said there was a “positive relationship” between staff and parents in which leaders were in “close contact” with parents and guardians.

Headteacher G M Jones said the recommendations had been taken “seriously”, with the school working with the local authority to implement changes and improvements.

“We are pleased to have received a positive report following our recent school inspection," said Mr Jones.

“The inspection, which took place in March, highlighted many areas of strength and progress within our school community.

“We are particularly proud that the inspection team recognised our school as a supportive community that promotes a caring ethos successfully.

“They also highlight the close working relationships between pupils and staff, which foster an effective learning environment and a constant sense of belonging to the school family. We are very proud of all involved.

“The report also included a recommendation regarding health and safety measures.

“We want to assure our community that we have taken these recommendations seriously.

“Since the inspection, we have been actively working with the local authority to implement these improvements and have immediately put in place robust procedures and provided detailed risk assessments based on rigorous planning.

“Our goal is to ensure that our school remains a safe and nurturing place for all students and staff and by embedding these procedures we are confident that the recommendation has been fully addressed.

“We are committed to maintaining high standards and continuously improving our school.

“We extend our gratitude to our staff, students, parents, and the wider community for their ongoing support and cooperation.”
