Would love to get involved and get on our silver journey. Can't download the handbook, and don't know how to get started on gathering our evidence! Would be really useful if there was a phone number so that we could actually speak to a real person for help and advice! Park Hall Primary, Stoke On Trent

Hi,

 

I've clicked on the link for the awards handbook, but it keeps saying that the link is broken. Can I access it another way?

We were awarded the Gold award in January this year and as a school would like to be considered for the Platinum award. Our Governors would like to send a nomination but we are unclear who is able to make nominations and what information they would need to include in this. Would the school then prepare evidence as with the Gold award? Sorry if this informaiton is on the site and i have missed it. Gail Knapton Long Bennington

Hi Mrs Berry-Smith,

Glad you found your way to our Awards section in the end! Don't despair if you're still a little unsure, keep an eye on the website and in the magazine over the next few weeks, as we'll be uploading even more useful info about the Awards, we endeavour to make the process as simple and easy as possible.

It would be really lovely to have an area where there are helpful tips on how to achieve each part of the awards. It is nice to read through everyone elses stories but a list of ideas conected to each part of each award would be REALLY useful.

Thank you.

We got the Silver award, but the music coordinator tried to organise it on his own. Not a good idea! For the Gold award we have set up a team to spread the 'load'

Your list of evidence suggestions is excellent. Keep them coming in!. Salusbury Primary London NW6
