Eco Schools Award
The school was reaccredited in December 2010 and has once again achieved the prestigious Green Flag status! The school is committed to promoting a clear framework to embed ecologically friendly principles into the heart of school life.
Healthy Schools Award
We are a healthy school, promoting the physical, mental and social health of the children. We have achieved phase 5 and now working towards the National Quality Award.
Quality Mark
This is an award that celebrates and supports continuous improvement in literacy and numeracy. It is awarded to a setting or school to recognise their provision, practice and performance in literacy and numeracy, and is valid for three years. A school or setting must demonstrate a whole school approach to improving standards in literacy and numeracy, with evidence of the impact of its approaches.
International School Award
The school received the International School Award in August 2011 at the intermediate level. The ISA is a prestigious accreditation scheme, managed by the British Council. The Award recognises and celebrates schools that are committed to developing international partnerships which enrich the curriculum and help young learners to become global citizens.
We are currently partnered with the Aga Khan Model School, based in Nasirabad, Hunza, in Northern Pakistan. |

| Korean Students |
On Tuesday 24th January, we welcomed students from South Korea to a Junior Assembly. They demonstrated their excellent Taekwondo skills, played music using traditional Korean instruments and acted out a play based on the Bible. The children enjoyed the visit and maybe it will encourage some of our pupils to try this new sport!
