TES Awards

Park Community Primary School has been nominated for 2 national awards.

On TES website it states: We list the shortlisted schools and detail some of the achievements

The TES launched its first Schools Awards for England and Wales last December; now, four months later, after assessing hundreds of entries of an extremely high standard, the judges have drawn up a shortlist. The TES Awards are the first to celebrate and reward the professionalism and flair of teams making an outstanding contribution to primary and secondary schools in the maintained and independent sectors. The 15 categories include new facilities, innovation in teaching, leadership and community involvement. In this special eight-page feature, we list the shortlisted schools and detail some of the achievements that so impressed our panel of distinguished judges, who were looking beyond the traditional methods of measurement for examples of initiative across the board. The winners will be announced at a grand lunch at the London Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, on June 9. I look forward to seeing many of you there - Gerard Kelly, TES Editor
