Awards and Achievements

In 2004 and 2007, Lakefield Primary was awarded the Gold Artsmark in recognition for their outstanding achievement in the arts. The school has an excellent reputation for creativity in all aspects of the arts, especially for their participation in the Cheltenham dance festival and also for the Choir and Bands performances at many community events. The school has many talented singers and actors who are nurtured and encouraged to perform in the many school productions. If you look in the gallery you will also see some of the fantastic art work produced throughout the school year.

In 2006 Lakefield school was awarded the, 'Healthy School' award. This means that as a whole school, including governors, teachers and parents we are striving to develop a healthy environment that allows the children to develop and grow. The award demonstrates out commitment to creating healthy, happy children who do better in learning and life.

Every year Lakefield Primary enters a team in the Gloucestershire nature quiz. In 2006 the team worked incredibly hard to get to the Gloucester Area final where they were awarded the runners up trophy. In 2008, the team won the Gloucester Area final, beating Longney School. They then won the County semi-final, beating The Richard Pate School and Aylburton. To have made it through to the County Final is an achievement in itself, and guarantees the team a trophy to feel proud of.

In 2008, Lakefield was pleased to be awarded a sports council "Activemark" This demonstrates our achievement and commitment to sport and physical activity.

Lakefield has enjoyed Investors in People status for many years, most recently renewed in 2009. We value the contributions of all the adults who work at Lakefield, many of whom contribute far beyond the call of duty. Their hard work benefits our pupils.

In 2007, Lakefield achieved intermediate status for the International Schools award, as a result of our commitment to making lasting, international links and including the wider world and its issues in our curriculum. We have links with schools in Kenya, Cadiz, Bourgbarre and Salignac. Teachers have taken part in professional development visits to Hungary and Spain.
