Teachers Rewarded For Good Work
Staff
in Coventry schools that have improved or excelled have today
found out if they are to get extra cash for their hard work.
A
government scheme has rewarded 6,800 schools around the country
with the bonuses.
School
Achievement awards are in two categories and are worth around £5,00
for a primary school, and £25,000 for secondary schools.
The
Improvement Awards reward staff in schools where pupil performance
in 2000 was substantially better than in 1997 and in schools that
have come out of special measures.
Excellence
Awards are for schools where pupil performance in 2000 was better
than most schools in similar circumstances.
School
Standards Minister Estelle Morris, former head of Sidney Stringer
school in Coventry, said:
"I
congratulate today's winners. The purpose of these awards is to
reward staff teams and to encourage schools to strive for
further improvement.
“Schools
succeed through a combination of good leadership, good teaching
and teamwork by all staff.

should be proud of winning a School Achievement Award. It
celebrates success and gives governing bodies the opportunity to
give the whole staff team a tangible reward."
