A PRIMARY school in Stockton which tells its children "we can be whatever we dream" has been recognised with a national award for inclusion.

Rosebrook Primary School is celebrating after being awarded Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) as well as being granted a Centre of Excellence.

In her report, IQM Assessor Joanne Smith said: “'We can be whatever we dream' is the school’s vision for children to achieve without limitation. The leaders and staff team work to remove barriers to ensure pupils have every opportunity to be happy and succeed in school learning and life.

“The children know that staff believe in them and care for them and the leaders’ vision is echoed through the children’s voice.

“Pupils speak warmly about the adults in school and enthusiastically shared their happy experiences and memories from the many opportunities and the interesting curriculum that the school provides.
