Delighted youngsters celebrated a top 100 national placing for their school by inspecting its new outdoor games area.
Redcar’s Newcomen Primary School’s new MUGA - Multi Use Games Area - was officially opened by PD Ports chairman David Robinson MBE and his wife Linda. Costing £60,000, it came to fruition from the children’s plans, through the school council. PD Ports is a keen supporter of the school through a “Right To Read” reading development project.
The MUGA opening ceremony came at a great time for the school, which has recently been named one of the top 100 primary schools in the country for progress.
A letter from Schools Minister David Laws to headteacher Kinga Pusztai confirmed the school’s top 100 placing “in terms of the progress your pupils make between key stage 1 and key stage 2.”
He added: “Your school is exceptionally effective in educating all your pupils.”
The school was also praised by Mr Laws for the improvement in key stage 2 results of disadvantaged pupils since 2011.
“It is clear that you and your staff have provided your disadvantaged pupils with a good start in life and prepared them well for secondary school.”
The letter ends: “I would like to congratulate your staff, governors, parents and pupils for their hard work and success.”
Headteacher Kinga Pustai said: “Our children are our most precious asset. We are so proud of this recognition on behalf of our pupils and their families. This is due to everyone’s relentless dedication to ensure the best outcomes for our children.
“Thank you to all our staff, families, governors and most of all, our phenomenal children.”
