Welsh is taught as a second language. Speaking Welsh is an integral part of daily life throughout the school. Pupil numbers September 2017: 42 July 2018: 42 Year groups Foundation Phase: Reception, Years 1 and 2, ages 4 - 7 (Class 1): Following a change in policy by the Welsh Government, the 2017/2018 Academic Year pupils commenced school in the September following their fourth birthday. Key Stage 2: Years 3 – 6, ages 7-11 (Class 2) Attendance 2017 – 2018 Attendance for the year for all pupils was 97.66%, with no unauthorised absences. For pupils aged 5 – 11 the corresponding figures were 97.59% and 0%. This high attendance was achieved despite some of the heaviest snow we have seen in many years. School was closed for 4 days only during two episodes of significant snowfall. Throughout the year we have used the monthly newsletters as a way of encouraging parents and carers to give a high priority to improving our attendance figures. Regular updates on attendance and comparisons with the Welsh Government’s target figure were given. The Welsh Government uses attendance to judge a school’s performance and has decreed that holidays will no longer be permitted during term time. 3 In September 2017 the Governing Body reviewed and re-adopted the existing Attendance Policy Statement. The Governing Body continues to strive for the highest possible attendance, recognising its huge importance for a pupil’s education, whilst acknowledging that achieving an improvement in attendance involves a partnership between the school, the pupils and their parents or carers. Term dates for Year 2018-19 Autumn: Harvest Term: Wednesday 5th September 2018 to Friday 26th October 2018 Christmas Term: Monday 5th November 2018 to Friday 21st December 2018 Half term: Monday 29th October 2018 to Friday 2nd November 2018 Non-pupil days: Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th September 2018 Spring: Epiphany Term: Tuesday 8th January 2019 to Friday 22nd February 2019 Easter Term: Monday 4th March 2019 to Thursday 11th April 2019 Half term: Monday 25th February 2019 to Friday 1st March 2019 Non-pupil days: Monday 7th January and Friday 12th April 2019 Summer: Pentecost Term: Monday 29th April 2019 to Friday 24th May 2019 Trinity Term: Monday 3rd June 2019 to Friday 19thJuly 2019 May Day Bank Holiday: Monday 6th May 2019 Half term: Monday 27thMay 2019 to Friday 31st May 2019 Non-pupil days: Monday 22nd July 2019 Royal Welsh Show: Monday 22nd to Thursday 25th July 2019. School session times 9am – 3.30pm. Foundation Phase lunchtime: 12.00 - 1.15 pm KS2 lunchtime: 12.10 - 1.15pm 4 A CHURCH IN WALES SCHOOL Gladestry School is a Church in Wales voluntary controlled primary school with a distinctive Christian ethos and character. We greatly value that status and are committed to continuing the strong links we have with both the parish of Gladestry and the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon. Our parish priest Revd Mark Beaton regularly takes collective worship in school while pupils also participate in worship at St Mary’s Church on an occasional basis; this includes a Harvest Festival, a Nativity Service and a Christmas Carol Service. There was a leavers’ service attended by departing pupils in Brecon Cathedral in July. The Church and Churchyard itself provides a valuable teaching resource with pupils visiting throughout the year to research headstones, stained glass windows and to work in and enjoy the quiet garden. AROUND THE SCHOOL Playground and Garden Thank you to all the pupils, parents and grandparents for their on-going help in rejuvenating the garden area. Class 2 spent a busy day planting bulbs in the autumn, ready for spring flowering. A generous donation from Gladestry Community Council allowed us to purchase plants and shrubs from Lyonshall Nursery. The two new parasols that were purchased for the outdoor benches proved very useful during the hot sunny weeks in June and July. Bell Tower The renovated Bell Tower has been a highlight of the 2017-18 year. A huge thank you must go to Robin Vincent, Finn Frazer, Tom Jones and Jody Parry for all their hard work and time given up over the Easter Holidays and also to the Gladestry Active Community Fund for their generosity towards this project. It is estimated that the bell had been silent for over sixty years. The school held an art competition to provide four winners the honour of ringing the bell for the first time. Many thanks to FROGS and all who attended our Bell Ceremony. 5 Security arrangements The school doors are locked during the day and window restrictors are fitted. Visitors can only gain access by ringing the front door bell and being admitted by a member of staff. The top gate into the playground remains locked due to its proximity to the road. Parents and visitors are asked to close the lower gate behind them on leaving or arriving at school. Links with the community The school enjoys strong links with the community. In its most recent report Estyn noted that; “The school makes good use of the local community to enhance the curriculum. For example: pupils made artefacts and set up a museum linked to a local landmark. This was opened to the local community”. Many more of these projects have included the local community too. In October 2017, Class 2 opened up their ‘Beautiful Homes’ Estate Agents which many parents, friends and the local community attended. In March 2018, parents, governors and members of the community came to peruse historical documents with Class 2 pupils for which the school received excellent feedback. The structural links that exist with the ecclesiastical parish of Gladestry because of the school’s status as a Voluntary Controlled Church in Wales school are of enormous value to both the school and the community. ‘Welly Wednesdays’, local walks and other visits such as those to local farms and businesses all raise the profile of the school within the community and help to foster a sense of local ‘ownership’ of the school. Events that are open to the local community such as the Macmillan Coffee Mornings are extremely well supported by the whole community and not just parents or grandparents. There is a strong local involvement in the running of After School Clubs, with parents and grandparents sharing their skills, enthusiasm and expertise. Manufacturing Week also enjoys an enormous input from the families and friends of pupils. The Christmas Fair attracts huge local support. Past pupils and their families are all invited to the annual FROGS barbecue or this year – ‘Pizza and Puds’, and some compete alongside pupils in the Yew Tree Bank Run. The school is delighted to have received a wide range of visitors, and to have been encouraged to make visits to local services. Mrs Mullin came to speak to the children about Dementia. Each child and adult were presented with a small badge in the shape of a forget-me-not, (the emblem of the Dementia Friends organisation) and a Dementia Friends sheet.

    National Landscape Character 31/03/2014 NLCA20 RADNORSHIRE HILLS © Crown copyright and database rights 2013 Ordnance Survey 100019741 www.naturalresources.wales NCA20 Radnorshire Hills - Page 1 of 8 Bryniau Sir Faesyfed – Disgrifiad cryno Dyma ardal o fryniau llyfnion, sy’n disgyn yn raddol o Ddyffryn Gwy yn y gorllewin i’r ffin yn y dwyrain. Ceir tirwedd gyffelyb dros y ffin ym mro Colunwy yn Lloegr, i’r gogledd o Geintun. Mae tirwedd Sir Faesyfed yn drawiadol ac yn amrywiol, gyda gweunydd tonnog, agored wedi’u hollti gan ddyffrynnoedd. Rhwng eu llethrau serth ceir tiroedd pori wedi’u hamgáu â gwrychoedd, yn ymyl afonydd a nentydd bychain, a choedwigoedd hynafol. Gan nad yw ffurf y bryniau wedi’u ffensio, ceir ymdeimlad o agoredrwydd, ac o fod ymhell o gyfyngiadau a phwysau tirweddau eraill, mwy trefol. Yn llawer i le mae’r dirwedd amrywiol yn croesi’r ffin rhwng y bryniau a llawr gwlad, gan roi troedle i amaethu ymylol. Bu gan hen Sir Faesyfed y boblogaeth leiaf o holl siroedd Cymru. Mae Clawdd Offa yn mynd trwy ran ohoni, ac yn y dwyrain, yn nhir y Mers, ceir cymysgedd o ddylanwadau Cymraeg a Saesneg. Y mae’n fro wledig, ddistaw, ymhell o fwrlwm twristiaeth, er gwaethaf ei hyrwyddo megis “Gwlad Kilvert”. Summary description This is an area of gentle, smooth, upland hills, rising gradually from the border in the east, to the Wye Valley in the west. Similar character extends into England’s Clun Forest area, north of Knighton. Radnorshire's topography is breathtaking and varied, with smooth, rolling, open moors, dissected by steep sided valleys with hedgerow-enclosed pastures by small rivers and streams, and ancient woodlands.
