BRUCHE Primary School is celebrating after being awarded a prestigious national prize.

The 'Primary Careers Mark' was awarded to the primary school after assessors were introduced to the school's 'World of Work' programme.

This included educating children with career guidance, and giving them advice, too.

Bruche Primary School is the only primary school in Warrington to achieve the award so far.

The assessor said: "The programme supported the academy’s mission of enhancing the future social mobility of all students, by providing good quality independent careers advice, personal guidance and curriculum activities which inspires them to develop high aspirations and consider a broad and ambitious range of future career opportunities regardless of gender, ability or social background."

Executive headteacher of Bruche Primary, Chris Jones, was delighted with the news.

He said: "The purpose of delivering our careers education is that we want our children to be academically and physically prepared for their future careers and for life in modern Britain, their local community and the world even at a young age.

“We are really pleased to achieve the Career Mark which recognises the hard work and outstanding careers education we offer for our children at Bruche."

Bruche Primary is one of eight schools that makes up Warrington Primary Academies Trust, which educates more than 2,000 children across the town.
