We've got the Basic Skills Agency
Quality Mark for the second time.

Basic skills are reading and writing (sometimes called literacy) and using numbers (sometimes called numeracy)
The Basic Skills Agency only gives the quality mark to schools meeting the 10 elements below:

1) Has a strategy and a action plan to improve children's reading writing and number work.
2) Assesses children to find out if they need extra help.
3) Has a target for improving basic skills in the school.
4) Has plans to help children with their reading, writing and number work.
5) Reviews the progress made by all of the children.
6) Provides training for staff so they can teach better.
7) Uses different ways of teaching based what each child needs.
8) Has good books and other materials to help their children improve.
9) Encourages parents to help their children with reading, writing and number work.
10) Monitors whether we are becoming better at teaching basic skills.
