AWARDS FOR THE SCHOOL
Inclusion Mark
Branksome Heath is very proud to have gained the Poole Inclusion Mark. We are one of the first schools in Poole to achieve this award.
In order to gain the award the school had to show inclusive practises in pupil progress, pupils' attitudes, values and personal development, leadership and management, staffing, the learning environment, teaching and learning, resources and ICT, communication with parents and carers, governors, external partners, the Local Authority and the community.
The award reflects the hard work by the pupils, parents, staff and all the community involved with the school.
We would like to thank you all for your support.
Sports Mark 2007
We were delighted to receive the Sports' Mark Award as recognition for the efforts that the school puts into promoting the active lifestyles and participation in sport.
Healthy Schools Plus
Thanks to the efforts of the whole school community, we have been successful, as part of a Pilot Scheme in achieving the status of Healthy Schools Plus. Building on the good work when we achieved Healthy Schools status, we have targetted key areas for improvement, particularly the number of children having increased numbers of the '5 a day' foods at lunch. The grant received helped towards the installation of our 'Fit Trail' and 'Feet off Ground' challenge which every child has had the opportunity to use and which have become a favourite part of break and lunchtime, increasing the activity levels of many children.
Financial Management Standard in Schools
In January 2008 Branksome Heath passed the accreditation and met the overall requirements of the Financial Management Standard in Schools. Staff and governors are now working together in preparation for our next assessment due during the next twelve months.
