Artsmark Gold Award 2009

We were delighted to learn that we have been awarded a Gold Artsmark by the Arts Council of England. Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts provision that encourages schools to consider the opportunities they offer in art, dance, drama and music. The application form for Artsmark acts as an auditing tool, through which schools may gain an overall picture of their arts education provision.

  
Activemark 2008

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Activemark 2008 award. This is a fantastic achievement for our school. Activemark 2008 rewards exceptional delivery of the National School Sport Strategy. We were automatically assessed for the award via the annual school sport survey and received the mark because at least 90% of pupils across the school were doing at least 2 hours high quality PE and school sport each week.
