School Awards
EBSA Horizons Champion School
Champion School Status
March 2026
Our school has become the first school in Stockton to achieve EBSA Horizons Champion school status. Our Champion report from EBSA Horizons stated: We have strong leadership. Our Principal has completed advanced training, and our inclusion team has also built their skills. This means we have a good plan in place and the right people to help children and families. We have trained our staff so they know what EBSA looks like and how to help early. Most staff have completed training, and some have had extra, more in-depth training. This has helped staff feel more confident and clear about what to do if a child is struggling. Our school is very child-centred. This means we listen carefully to children and take their feelings seriously. Children are given chances to share their worries and say what helps them feel safe. We use key adults so children have someone they trust in school. We also teach wellbeing and emotional skills as part of school life. We use approaches that are known to help children feel calmer, safer, and more confident. Overall, our aim is to make sure children feel understood, supported, and ready to learn.

Stockton Healthy Schools Award
Accreditation
March 2023
We are one of the first primary schools in the borough to be awarded the Stockton Healthy Schools Award, The judging panel were impressed with our commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of both adults and children. In particular, they noted: "Physical activity across school is strong and pupils have multiple opportunities to be active across the school day. The OPAL school approach allows pupils to assess risk which they can apply outside of school in order to keep themselves safe. This approach at break and lunchtimes is having a positive impact on behaviour with swifter transition back into the classroom after break times."
