A TINY two-teacher border primary school was described by inspectors as 'a very happy community with everyone supporting one another and sharing the same vision'.
A report on Gladestry Primary School, which has 38 pupils on its role, carried out by Estyn revealed children make good progress in all of the national curriculum subject areas. Inspectors were impressed with the youngsters spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and their behaviour and attitude to work.
The school's policy for bullying, racial equality, equal opportunities, induction and sexism were noted as an integral part of school life and are reflected in practice, across the curriculum and in the programme of physical, social and health education. Areas for improvement included the introduction of a broader range of reading activities and development of use of extended writing across the curriculum.
Inspectors also suggested the provision of more regular structured play activities for the under fives.
