| Activity | Impact |
| Springboard/Hwb intervention programme | The intervention had a positive impact on targeted learners – improving their confidence and ability to work independently. Most learners made good progress in their maths skills in whole class situations. |
| Catch Up reading programme | Nearly all learners had made good progress and were developing the enjoyment of independent reading. Y 3 – Y6 |
| Dyfal Donc Welsh reading programme | Nearly all Welsh medium learners from Y3 to Y6 have made good progress |
| ELSA | Emotional Literacy support has been essential for those learners which fall under the PDG category. Nearly all learners benefited from this support. This support will continue in the next academic year due to the increase in learners requiring emotional support |
