RUSHCOMBE FIRST SCHOOL IS FIRST IN SOUTH WEST TO WIN COVETED QUALITY AWARD
Rushcombe First School in Corfe Mullen, Wimborne, is the first school in the south west to win the prestigious national NACE Challenge Award, which is recognised by the majority of local authorities in England and many thousands of schools.
The award recognises excellence in provision for able, gifted and talented pupils and is the pinnacle of a supported self-evaluation framework for schools, colleges and local authorities.
Head Sue Swift said: “We are really excited about it and are so proud of our children."
“The award is given for high quality work by the whole school in challenging all pupils, including those with high abilities, to achieve their best."
“It isn’t just about reading, writing or number work and we want to help every individual child to reach their potential and enjoy their learning experience.”
NACE inspectors interviewed pupils, parents, staff and governors before making their final judgement against criteria which recognises the school's commitment to high quality provision.
The Award was presented at a whole school special assembly, attended by Annette Brooke MP (Mid-Dorset & Poole North), Stephen Prewett (Director of Children's Services, Dorset County Council) Cllr Toni Coombs, Governors and some parents.
