Belmont school staff receive bonus
School awarded for achieving top results as part of a national scheme
to recognise improvement
Staff
at Belmont school in Chiswick will share in a cash bonus of more
than £8,000 from the government for helping their students
to achieve high or improved test results in 2002. The bonus awards
are to be shared amongst all staff at the schools, including teaching
and non-teaching staff.
The
school was one of 21 in the borough including Gumley House which
were awarded a total of £253,410.
The
school achievement awards, which average £5700 per typical
primary school and £25,700 per typical secondary school, were
awarded to:
• Schools
where pupil performance was substantially better than in 1999;
• Schools where pupil performance in 2002 was better than most schools
in similar circumstances; and
• Schools that have come out of special measures in the 2001/02
school year.
Ann
Keen MP for Brentford and Isleworth said, “These School Achievement
Awards are a testament to the hard work of the staff and pupils
at our local schools. Teachers do great work and I am delighted
that this is being recognised by the Government. All the schools
deserve our congratulations for their hard work and I wish them
the best for the coming term.”
Cllr
Colin Ellar, Executive Member for Lifelong Learning, said, “Congratulations
to the staff at all of the schools recognised for their achievements
and especially to those who are being rewarded for delivering big
improvements in their schools. Improving standards in Hounslow are
dependent on the support of all staff in our schools, from dinner
ladies and caretakers to office staff, which is why it is essential
that all staff involved in schools are recognised when results improve
and when high achievement is rewarded.”
The
money for awards will be distributed to schools via the Hounslow
LEA in May through the Standards Fund.
