Pupils from Holy Angels RC Primary are celebrating after the school was awarded a quality mark from the Basic Skills Agency for the third time in a row.

Holy Angels, on Sidney Powel Avenue, Kirkby, has been a quality mark school since 2001, since when the agency has rewarded the school for its constant progress.

The basic skills quality mark in primary schools is intended to provide a framework for the continuous improvement of the basic skills of all pupils in the school, especially those who were once underachieving. In order to be awarded the mark the school is examined by judges who assess 10 key elements of the school’s performance.

Head teacher of Holy Angels, Ann Coffey, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the quality mark for the third successive time.

“It is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff who are committed to encouraging all our pupils to ensure they perform to the best of their abilities in everything they do.”

Cllr Graham Wright, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: “Congratulations to all the teachers, pupils and parents at Holy Angels who have all played an important part in improving the basic skills levels of everyone who is educated at the school.

“Basic skills are such a fundamental element of a young person’s education and their importance cannot be underestimated. By ensuring that every pupil is given the best possible help and encouragement to build up these skills the school is helping to ensure each child benefits from greater life chances for a considerable time into the future.”
