A school in Ramsey has been given a national award in recognition of its improving provision, practice and performance.

The award, which lasts for three years, promotes, supports and celebrates progress and improvements made by a school.

“I want to thank every member of staff for all the hard work and determination they have shown to achieve these awards, particularly during a challenging year.
"We are now working to maintain our success in 2021 to further support our community moving forward.”
