This recognition was earned from published evidence. It cannot be bought.

Every celebration is identified from the evidence already published about every school in England - no school can pay to win, change or remove one. It is not an Ofsted inspection judgement or a full assessment of school quality. How this works.

Licence to display

On activation, a school is licensed to display the WhatSchool Celebrates name, badges and materials for the recognition period.
