Schools and colleges Ysgolion a cholegau

Abstract

Bettws Junior School, in new buildings since October last, is open‐plan, free in activity, and below the surface very finely structured. The 245 children on role come from working‐class homes, their fathers mine or work in steel, live in a new estate adjacent to the old village, and are very lucky. For the school is an example of how free activity, open planning, and skilled and hardworked teachers can answer the critics of modern primary education by precept and example. If all things were possible, Kingsley Amies, Robert Conquest, and the others of that ilk should be made to send their children there.
