SIAMS  (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) – Outstanding

A SIAMS Outstanding School is a Church of England or Methodist school (in England) that has been rated at the highest level by a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS).  This designation means that the inspector found the school’s distinctive Christian character, values, and ethos to be exceptional, profoundly influencing the school’s daily life and fostering a nurturing, inclusive community where pupils and adults "flourish".

PRIMARY SCIENCE QUALITY MARK – PSQM Outreach

PSQM Outreach is the highest level of accreditation awarded by the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM), a year-long professional development program in the UK designed to improve science leadership and teaching in primary schools. Whilst the standard PSQM focuses on improving science within a single school, PSQM Outreach recognizes schools where the science subject leader and school staff not only have excellent internal practice (meeting the "Gilt" criteria) but are also actively supporting other schools and the wider community to improve their own science provision. 

SCHOOL GAMES – Gold

The School Games is a government-led initiative in the UK designed to put physical activity and competitive sport at the heart of schools. Funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, it aims to provide inclusive opportunities for young people to engage in sport, achieve their personal best, and foster values like teamwork, respect, and self-belief. 

MUSIC MARK

The Music Mark of Recognition is an award for schools, nominated by local music services, celebrating a commitment to high-quality music education. It signifies that a school champions music, offering a diverse, inclusive curriculum and active musical opportunities. It highlights excellence in providing musical learning. 

WELLBEING AWARD FOR SCHOOLS

The Wellbeing Award for Schools (WAS) is an evidence-based, whole-school framework designed to place mental health and emotional wellbeing at the heart of school culture. Supported by the National Children’s Bureau and Awardplace, itt helps schools, staff, pupils, and parents work together to create a positive, supportive environment. 

ECO-SCHOOLS SILVER AWARD - Silver

The Eco-Schools Silver Award is a self-assessed national recognition for schools that have demonstrated significant progress in sustainability, usually achieved after the Bronze Award. It signifies that the Eco-Committee is actively monitoring action, embedding environmental issues into the curriculum, and involving the whole school/community in their efforts.
