Marks/Awards

In recent years we have been awarded the status of a 'Health Promoting School', and also achieved the Basic Skills Agency Quality Mark 2. The photograph below shows Councillor Alan Charles presenting the award.

The Health Promoting School award recognises that health issues are an important and on-going part of our life at Hadfield Infant School for more detail see the link on the left menu.
