Examination a pleasure
Although the teachers have recorded some less encouraging remarks
in the Llangurig School Log Book over the years, the annual
reports of the School Inspectors were often highly complimentary,
as in this example from 1881.

This extract from the report was written on 19th November,1881: "The scholars are in very good order, and the care and
quickness with which they do their work make it a pleasure to
examine them. The neatness of the paperwork and the intelligence
shown by the children deserve special praise."
This report is a bit different from the teachers comment shown
here, and noted earlier in the very same year.
This was written on 22nd April,1881 and reads: "The fourth strand do their work so badly that I sometimes
despair of ever getting them to do anything creditably." It would appear that things had improved considerably by
the time of the visit of the School Inspectors !
