Town = the state-funded primary schools in the school’s built-up area.
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.
On activation, a school is licensed to display the WhatSchool Celebrates name, badges and materials for the recognition period.
We correct factual errors promptly - data matching, school details, mergers or closures. Report a correction.
WhatSchool Celebrates is part of WhatSchool, the school information platform.
