Government praise for Rotherham's successful schools

PUPILS at three Rotherham schools have been applauded by schools minister David Laws for getting full marks in their primary school tests.

Whiston Junior and Infant School, Whiston Worrygoose Junior and Infant School and Canklow Woods Primary School are all on the Department for Education roll of honour.

The schools all achieved 100 per cent in each of three key measures — achievement in English and maths, the English progress measure and the maths progress measure.

Broom Valley Community School and Kiveton Park Meadows Junior School were also praised for being among the 100 schools showing most sustained improvement in each year between 2009 and 2012.

Mr Laws said: “I would like to congratulate all staff, governors and pupils for their hard work and success and to thank the head for the leadership in continuing the drive towards the highest standards of educational achievement.”
