It is with immense pride that I inform you that Hilldene Primary has achieved the prestigious NACE Challenge Award for excellence in provision for able, gifted and talented pupils.
We are the 358th school nationally to achieve the prestigious NACE Challenge Award which is given for high quality work by the whole school, teachers and governors, in challenging all pupils, including those with high abilities, to continue to strive to be better.
NACE Chief Executive Hilary Lowe said: “Hilldene Primary School has worked hard to win the NACE Challenge Award status. It has shown itself to be committed to developing a school and providing an education where all pupils are challenged to improve and strive to be better.”
Assessors, for the award, were impressed by the strong leadership and management of provision which keeps the needs of more able learners at the forefront of the school’s work, supported effectively by governors. They judged the quality of the school’s work by observing lessons, interviewing the pupils, teachers, parents and governors and by looking at the pupils’ work.
The accreditation was made on the basis of the high quality and commitment they saw across the school.
Well done everyone...fantastic recognition of our journey so far!
Mrs Delmonte
