WINSFORD High Street Primary School has been highlighted as one of the shining examples of education in this year’s Parliamentary Review.

The school has been chosen as one of six in the north west, and one of 36 nationally, to feature in the annual review, showcasing the best of the countries primary schools over the past year.

The main aim of the Review is to showcase best practice as a learning tool to the public and private sector.

In the review, the school, which is now the largest in the borough following a large expansion project, is lauded for ‘diminishing the gap between those disadvantaged and those not’.

It also highlights the inclusivity of Winsford High Street Primary, catering for 54 children with varying degrees of special educational needs.

Mark Joule, headteacher, said: “There are six schools for the north west that are picked out and they are recognised as being, over that period of time, a perfect example of primary school education.

“I think the thing I’m most proud is that we’re an inclusive school. We take children from all walks of life and different backgrounds and all kinds of different needs. We do our best to give to give every child the education they need and understand that every child is different.

“We’re really grateful to get the recognition for our hard work and it’s down to all the staff and children here, but it’s also a large part down to the Winsford Education Partnership.”

Mark, who has been at Winsford High Street for 14 years, is also a former chairman of the Winsford Education Partnership.

He added: “It’s all about being stronger together in Winsford and with the partnership of the schools, it really does help to raise standard across the town and that is key. I don’t want to just see our school doing well, I want to see all schools across Winsford being recognised. If next year, another primary school from Winsford featured in the review, that would great to see.”

Across all policy areas, The Parliamentary Review is sent to more than half a million leading policymakers. The articles in the Review act as both a blueprint for success and a template for reform.

Daniel Yossman, The Parliamentary Review’s director, said: “Winsford High Street Community Primary School and other hardworking organisations from across the country have come together to make this year’s Review possible. “Sharing knowledge and insight with both peers and government is essential work and I am delighted that this year’s Review will reach every corner of the British economy.”
