Gladstone Primary School

Gladstone is a large mainstream Primary School in Barry, The Vale of Glamorgan. We have 500 children and 2 SEMH ( social , emotional, and mental health) classes for Foundation Phase and Ks2 children who have experienced significant trauma within their lives.

Overall Assessment: 

“Gladstone is an inspirational school where children are cared for and nurtured by a team of highly trained and supportive adults. It is a school that enables children to develop within an environment that is sensorially rich, and carefully planned to support emotional wellbeing. All school leaders, including governors, fully appreciate the importance of supporting positive mental health and this is prioritised at all times. The school has created an environment that supports all children with safe spaces, quiet areas, a memorial garden as well as outdoor space. Children talked with enthusiasm about the school and clearly enjoy being part of the Gladstone family. Staff also love being part of this team and enjoy their work. The school richly deserves the Trauma Informed School Award." - TISUK Assessor
