Basic Skills Quality Mark
Stannington Infant School has been awarded the Basic Skills Quality Mark from The Basic Skills Agency. It is very difficult to achieve the Quality Mark, so it is a real credit to the school that we have this award. The Quality Mark is about basic skills. Reading, writing, spelling and numberwork, the skills all children need. The Quality Mark says that our school:
