The Welsh Government has replaced the ‘banding’ of schools with a ‘National Model for the Categorisation of Schools’. It will continue to drive improvement for learners, recognising those schools which raise standards from those that arenot improving quickly or consistently enough.
Schools will be categorised by colour and an arrow showing an upward or downward trend. The colours will signify the level of support, challenge and intervention a school receives.
A school’s strengths and areas for improvement in standards, provision and leadership are identified during discussions with schools throughout the year. These discussions are then used to decide on the most appropriate level of support for the school.
A Green School will have the following characteristics: Standards are high. No groups of learners underperform. School knows itself well and identifies and implements its own priorities for improvement. Moving towards or sustaining excel- lence. Have the capacity to support other schools.
A Yellow School will have the following characteristics: Will know and understand most of the areas in need of improvement. Many aspects of the school’s perfor- mance are self improving. Bespoke challenge and support will be given according to need.
An Amber School will have the following characteristics: Does not know and understand all areas in need of improvement.
Many aspects of the school’s perfor- mance are not improving quickly enough. Ysgol Dewi Sant is categorised
Bespoke challenge and intervention will be given which is time limited. as a B YELLOW school for Will be recognised as a school at risk of causing concern. 2017/2018 A Red School will have the following characteristics: Standards are poor. Will require critical intervention. Will be recognised as a school causing concern. Will lose autonomy and a more directed approach to intervention and support will be given.

The table and graph show a trend in the performance of our Year 11 students over time. The L1 (Level One) Threshold shows the percentage of our students who gained 5 GCSEs between A* and G, or equivalent qualifications. The Level Two Threshold (L2) works the same way, but between the grades of A* to C. The measure, often referred to as “L2 Threshold including”, reflects the percentage of students who gained 5 GCSE grades at A* to C, or equivalent qualifications, that included both an English and Mathematics pass at Grade C or better. The dotted lines below shows the trend, or direction of achievement over time whilst the solid lines show actual performance.

Pembrokeshire Schools listed individually
Schools not listed are the schools in the Carmarthenshire area
The above graph shows the L2i performance of secondary schools in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire in 2017 modelled against Free School Meal percentage. The percentage of FSM in a school is used by the Welsh Government as an indicator of the degree of challenge that each school faces. This enables comparisons to be made between different schools. The line of best fit shows a ‘nominal average’ performance. Those furthest above the line are in excess of this outcome, and those below the line fall short of this modelled expectation. Main line is ERW's regression line for 2017, dotted line is Wales' official line for 2016 (based on old L2+ regulations).
This chart shows the performance of students at Ysgol Dewi Sant against the other schools in Pembrokeshire using many of the same criteria applied to Family comparisons. Whilst we emphasise we are not comparing “like for like”, other than by location, similar information can be obtained by using the Welsh Government “My Local School” website. Here, all schools in Pembrokeshire can be located, and a more extensive list of comparisons can be made which go beyond academic outcomes. www.mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk Key Stage 4 Family of Schools Overview In 2009, the Welsh Government collated all school data to produce a document for each school called the ‘All Wales Core Data Set’. To allow for school improvement, schools were grouped into ‘Families’ so that comparisons could be made and, through collaborative endeavours, best practices could be shared. Our ‘Family’ includes 10 other schools who are deemed to have similar contexts to ours, determined through a calculation based on the percentage of Free School Meals in the school, the percentage of students on the Special Educational Needs Register and the percentage of students who live in areas that are the most deprived in Wales. In 2016, we are seen as the 12th least challenged of our Family and, as such, should have been amongst the highest performers, if not ,indeed the best.
The table below shows our school’s performance (as a percentage), compared to our family performance in 2017.
