Primary Science Quality Mark GILT

We are delighted to have attained the Primary Science Quality Mark GILT. This is a result of many years of hard work and commitment from staff to the teaching of science in a meaningful and exciting way. It confirms our commitment to pupils' right to access science and embed scientific literacy as well as expertise for their future.

Artsmark Platinum

Arts provision (including the  visual and performing arts: drama, music and dance) has always held a special place at Tyndale. We firmly believe that encouraging an interest in the arts adds significantly to children's overall educational experience and their ways of learning. This is why we ensure that our arts department is extremely well resourced. We’re not the only ones to think that either, as we’ve been awarded the Artsmark Platinum Award for our outstanding commitment.

Investors in People Gold

In October 2020, William Tyndale School was awarded with the Gold level of We invest in people accreditation. We are very pleased that such leadership qualities within the school have been officially recognised and that staff at all levels had the opportunity to feedback their views.

SingUp Gold Award

We were thrilled to have the quality of our singing recognised by SingUp! Here is an extract from the feedback given by the endorser, Leonora Davies MBE. 

It is evident that the whole school community is engaged and energised by singing and music making across the school. The lead music practitioner provides excellent leadership and staff and pupils benefit from his leadership. 

I have no hesitation in endorsing the Gold Award. Well done so now it's onwards and upwards for the Platinum Award.
