The enthusiastic staff are doing a magnificent job encouraging the children to work hard at their studies. Improving literacy matters for the future of our young people and helps create highly literate workforces and communities for the benefit of the city."

Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of SSAT said: “It’s my great pleasure to commend on their excellent 2015 performance, and to have the opportunity to highlight Crowcroft Park Primary school and share their great work at the SSAT Educational Outcomes celebration event. I have the privilege of visiting a lot of schools and I am always impressed by the creativity of teachers in engaging and inspiring their students.

“I hope that SSAT’s Educational Outcomes award will highlight the professionalism, commitment and hard work of the leaders, teachers and students at Crowcroft Park Primary school. Recognising and sharing successes like this is at the heart of SSAT’s mission, so I’m delighted to congratulate Crowcroft Park Primary school.”
