Schools in Dwyfor have been rated highly according to the Welsh Government.

The rating system labels all primary and secondary schools in Dwyfor as either green or yellow.

The four categories are ‘green’, ‘yellow, ‘amber’ and ‘red’, green being the best and red the worst.

The system was launched by the Welsh Government in 2014 in a bid to drive up performance, following criticism that the scrapping of league tables led to falling standards.

The latest results rate 49 of Gwynedd’s primary schools as needing the “least support” – compared to 44 in January 2019.

The data is based on several factors including assessment and exam results, attendance and leadership and assessment by school improvement consortia.

A Gwynedd Council spokesperson said: “As the latest primary, GCSE and A-level results show, Gwynedd’s schools provide an excellent education for our young people. Those results show that our pupils are performing very well in key areas.

“The National School Categorisation data is part of a Welsh Government initiative to group schools according to a range of factors with the aim being to establish priorities for differentiated support.

“These categories do not necessarily provide a fair picture of each individual school’s performance and, as the government has emphasised, the data should not be used as the basis for creating divisive school league tables. In some instances, Estyn inspection outcomes will not always match the school categorisation of support for schools.

“As is always the case, Gwynedd Council’s Education Department in conjunction with regional partners will continue to work closely with the county’s schools to ensure that they provide the best possible education for our young people.”
