🏫 Big News for Tenby’s Ysgol Greenhill! 🏫
Ysgol Greenhill is making headlines with a mountain of over 700 building issues requiring urgent attention. This 900-pupil school has been through the wringer, moving out of special measures in 2024, and now facing a major infrastructure overhaul. 🔧🏗️
The school, led by head teacher David Haynes since 2021, is under scrutiny again as Pembrokeshire County Council discusses a July inspection that highlighted the extensive repairs needed. They’ve already kick-started emergency repairs this year, with over £0.5 million set aside for critical fixes. 🛠️💷
Despite these challenges, staff and students are pushing for excellence. While the school’s already focused on improving reading standards and better integrating the Welsh language into everyday lessons, teachers admit that new students need guidance to boost their reading levels. 📚📈
On the plus side, the school community is resilient. Progress in Welsh-language education and stronger partnerships with nearby Narberth CP School are evolving, though there’s a call for more bilingual signage and cultural enrichment. 🗣️🇬🇧
The council’s being urged to prioritise long-term funding, whether it be sprucing up or even rebuilding the school. But what’s already evident is the remarkable leadership of Mr Haynes and his team’s dedication to turning things around. 🙌👩🏫
