It also said that the prospects for improvement are good because of the:
• maintenance of overall good standards;
• high commitment to supporting learners’ achievement and well being; and

However, it says there is always room for improvement and recommended that in order to improve further, the staff and governors of Welshpool High School need to:
• strengthen the role of the senior management team (SMT) and middle managers in the process of self-evaluation and planning for improvement;
• ensure consistency in assessment of and for learning and improve the quality of reports to parents;
• accredit all key skills at the appropriate level to support learners’ progression;
• further develop the Welsh Assembly Government’s priorities with regard to bilingualism
• ensure that pupils are involved in making decisions about their life in school, including their learning; and
• continue to take action to address the budget deficit
Welshpool High School has 1,135 pupils and operates with the lowest budget of the 13 secondary schools in Powys at £3,496. The maximum is £4555.
