School Description

Gungrog Church in Wales Infant and Nursery School was founded in 1875 as a National School and moved into its current premises in the 1950s, which were expanded in 1993 to accommodate more classroom space. It is situated in the market town of Welshpool and is one of three infant schools feeding a dual Welsh/English stream junior school. There are currently 68 full-time equivalent pupils on roll, including 17 who attend the nursery full-time, taught in three classes, namely nursery/reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The school also accommodates a part-time Flying Start pre-school setting for two and three year olds, which was not part of this inspection. The number on roll has steadily declined over recent years. The catchment area contains a local authority (LA) housing estate and number of more recent housing association properties, as well as a male refuge centre. Nearly all pupils live in the local area, which the school describes as relatively disadvantaged economically. Around 26% are entitled to receive free school meals, which is above the national and LA averages, although the figure fluctuates considerably. Pupils enter the school with a wide range of abilities. Approximately 28% on roll are currently identified as requiring special educational needs (SEN) support, which is also above the national and LA averages; none has a statement. No pupils currently come from an ethnic minority background, use Welsh as their first language at home or are looked after by the LA, although two from Poland receive support in English as an additional language. The school was last inspected in February 2005. There have been relatively few changes since then, although a new teacher was appointed in September 2010 following the retirement of the deputy headteacher, whose post was replaced by a teaching and learning responsibility position. The 2010-2011 individual school budget per pupil for Gungrog Church in Wales Infant and Nursery School is £4169 which compares with a maximum of £11812 and a minimum of £2891 for primary schools in Powys. The school has the 21st highest budget per pupil out of the 101 primary schools in Powys.

Average Parent Rating


“Brilliant friendly school”


Absolutely loved this school my son spent the last 4 years here and he was found to have learning disabilities and all the teachers and teaching assistants helped him loads. All teachers are really lovely and are always approachable and are always there if you had any sort of issue. Going to miss being part of this school.
