40 Schools in Cardiff\u00a0have made the top “green” category in the latest Welsh Government schools performance ratings.<\/p>\n
But five Cardiff schools are in the “red zone”. These include three secondary schools; Eastern High School, Glyn Derw High School and Michaelston Community College and two primary schools; Trelai Primary School and Trowbridge Primary School.<\/p>\n
The Government’s report says these five schools will be given “immediate and intensive support” and they will receive\u00a0at least 25 days of support in the next year.<\/p>\n
The Welsh Government’s colour-coded system uses four categories – green, yellow, amber and red. Schools in the “green” category do not need much support while schools graded “red” need more support.<\/p>\n
Overall Welsh schools have performed better since last year’s results with nearly a hundred more entering the “green zone”.<\/p>\n
425 of the schools in Wales have been categorised as “green”. This is up from 333 last year.<\/p>\n
Twelve fewer schools have been graded red, with the total falling from fifty-eight to forty-six.<\/p>\n
But Rob Williams, Director of Policy for the National Association of Head Teachers Cymru (NAHT), the school leaders\u2019 union for Wales, says:<\/p>\n
\u201cNAHT welcomes data that illustrates the progress being made by school leaders and their staff on behalf of their pupils.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe still believe that for categorisation to work at its best, it needs to be part of a co-ordinated school improvement system in Wales, align with other processes and encourage and support a self-improving system.”<\/p>\n
Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams said in a statement:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis system is not about grading, labeling or creating crude league tables but about providing support and encouraging improvement in our schools. It is about putting schools into a position that helps them to identify areas they can strengthen and what they need to do achieve further improvements.”<\/p>\n
