School's hat-trick of achievements

Downview Primary School has notched up a series of triple successes to improve its children's lives.

Headteacher Mandy Williams said: 'These achievements are particularly pleasing as they reflect our commitment to the children's welfare and learning.'

The Wroxham Way school of 448 pupils has been awarded Healthy School status. This means it has met targets for providing personal, social and health education, healthy education, physical activity and emotional health.

The school has also been awarded a renewal of its Investors in People status. Reaching the level is a rigorous test of the school's commitment to staff welfare and good management.

The trio of top awards is completed by the recommendation of the school for the basic skills Quality Mark for primary schools.

A demanding test of the quality and effectiveness of the teaching in numeracy and literacy, it confirms the standard of teaching in those subjects in the school.
