“This provides the long-awaited validation for the work that the school has undertaken over the last 18 months, and reflects the considerable improvement which the school has made during this period. Reading the report gives me an enormous sense of pride for our pupils and staff, and reminds me of what a privilege it is to teach within this community.
“There is still much work to be done, however, and I look forward to us all working as a team to ensure that Greenhill is placed amongst the best schools in Wales,” he added.
Following the outcome of the visit, Estyn stated: ‘The Greenhill School is judged to have made sufficient progress in relation to the recommendations following the most recent core inspection.
‘As a result, His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales is removing the school from the list of schools requiring special measures.’
