Swansea Council has come top or nearly top of the class in many of its education and teaching services, according to Estyn inspectors. Estyn's latest assessment of the council's education service was very positive although much of it related to the three years before Covid in March 2020. A two-year inspection pause ended in February this year.
The phrase "strongest in Wales" cropped up more than once in Estyn's marking of Swansea's education homework although inspectors recommended the authority reviewed post-16 education provision and strengthened Welsh-medium provision in all ages. You can read more stories about Swansea here.
