Kate Osborne MP said:
“It was lovely to welcome Headteacher Nichola Fullard and Year 6 teacher Sarah Jones to Parliament from Toner Avenue Primary School which has achieved accreditation with the British Council International School Award.
“We have so many brilliant schools in the Jarrow and Gateshead East constituency and I am so pleased that they are being recognised for the outstanding work they do. I’ve visited Toner Avenue Primary school on multiple occasions and have consistently been impressed by their excellent facilities and initiatives including Star Of The Week, fully equipped sensory rooms and library, as well as their play provision.
“This award is a credit to all of the staff and students at Toner Avenue and the hard work they do. I’m glad to have joined Nichola and Sarah today to celebrate this brilliant achievement. Well done to everyone involved!”
