Congratulations to Attleborough Academy who have recently been awarded the World Class Schools Quality Mark accreditation!

The Quality Mark, awarded by education charity World Class Schools Quality Mark (WCSQM), uses a framework to assess the students’ World Class skills and competencies, highlighting characteristics including leadership, community, learning and workplace. Attleborough Academy’s pupils demonstrated how they met each standard – whether that be at the school itself, or while at home or in the community.

One of only a handful of non-selective style state schools to be awarded the Quality Mark, Attleborough Academy now sit among just 120 UK schools to receive the award over the years.

This is a remarkable achievement and showcases the incredible work and commitment of the school’s staff, as well as the pupils themselves. The characteristics focussed upon by the award are crucial to helping any individual excel in life.

I look forward to meeting with a class of the Academy’s Year 12 students when they visit the House of Parliament Education Centre next week – and to congratulating them and their teachers on the award in person.
