Quality Mark

The Quality Mark is about recognising minimum standards in teaching literacy and numeracy. Attainment of this award is normally based on a close partnership between the Agency, Local Authority and schools. Over 5100 schools have our Quality Mark to date in England and Wales. Your school could join this group.
