Caroline Flint backs blooming school

15 September 2006

Don Valley MP, Caroline Flint, visited Warmsworth Primary School to see for herself the £100,000 improvements made to the school, and found a school in bloom.

"Meeting staff and pupils at Warmsworth Primary was a real treat," said Caroline. "Whether it was the school garden, where the children grow their own fruit and vegetables, the trim trail, the Healthy School curriculum or the high quality of teaching - this school is blossoming".

"Acting Headteacher Ann Marshall, staff and governors are providing a marvellous environment for the children to learn and enjoy school. They have every reason to be pleased with themselves."

Said Ann Marshall: "We were proud to show the Public Health Minister our work on Healthy Schools, our trim trail and to the organic fruit and vegetables the children grow themselves."

The school's Ofsted report described Warmsworth Primary as "a very good school with several outstanding aspects."

Said Ms Flint: "Investing in education has been the Government's great priority. I would be proud to bring any Minister to see how Warmsworth has used their staff, IT, and school building to create a first rate school."
