Excellent primary gets top marks in Estyn inspection


A NEWPORT school is celebrating after receiv- ing top marks in an Es- tyn inspection. High Cross Primary School in Rogerstone was found to be “excel- lent” in all five areas measured by inspectors in their report. It is among the highest- scoring Welsh schools under the inspectorate’s new system. Headteacher


Carl


Sherlock said: “All the pupils, parents, teach- ers and support staff put a huge amount into High Cross and now to be highly commended by Estyn is a wonderful achievement.” The school’s chairman


of governors Reverend Richard Mulcahy was also pleased: “It is a school where everybody knows each other and helps each other. It has a great atmosphere which helps children to learn and gives them a great start in life.” The school has about 240 pupils and has won

three green flags and a platinum flag for eco activities as well as awards for ICT and addi- tional education needs. It has recently turned


an office into a sensory room with lava lamps and fairy lights for chil- dren with attention defi- cit disorder. In recent years it has taken part in the British Council’s Comenius programme. Mr Sherlock and other staff visited a similar school in Belgium and the pupils regularly email each other. The 2007 inspection recommended


the


school improve the way it operated its bilingual skills. Deputy head- teacher Nicola Coker now runs a contest for junior school pupils to keep a score of their Welsh skills.
