A village primary school has been honoured for its support of children from the Armed Forces community.
Llanfair Primary School in St Mary Church, near Cowbridge, had already secured bronze status from SSCE Cymru (Supporting Service Children in Education) two years ago.
They've now been awarded silver status as an Armed Forces Friendly School for their continued work with service children and the wider Armed Forces community in the Vale.
To secure silver status, Llanfair Primary carried out a number of activities such as organising a member of the Armed Forces to deliver a session with service children and their peers.
They also had to complete a self-assessment of the school's support and commit to an annual review as part of a 'Thriving Lives' toolkit from the SCiP Alliance.
The school also liaised with a lead officer to explore options for listening to service children and completed at least 60% of activities on a dedicated checklist.

Cllr Eddie Williams, Armed Forces champion at Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "It is wonderful to see Llanfair Primary School be recognised for their ongoing commitment to supporting Service children and their families in this way."
“The Vale of Glamorgan Council has a long history of welcoming children of service personnel to our schools and we have renewed our Armed Forces Covenant, which is a voluntary pledge that organisations take to demonstrate their support for the military community."
"Its principles ensure that those who serve, or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly and with respect."
"Achieving Silver Armed Forces Friendly School Status reflects Llanfair Primary School’s dedication to understand and meet the needs of Service families in the Vale, and their efforts help ensure that every child feels valued and supported."
Earlier this year, SSCE Cymru awarded gold status for St Athan Primary School.
