Awards
At Mulgrave, we believe in nurturing curious minds, responsible citizens, and confident learners. We’re proud to have received national recognition for our commitment to sustainability and science education—two areas that reflect our ethos of Learn, Believe, Succeed and our vision of Every Child a Success.
Active Travel at Mulgrave Primary School
At Mulgrave, we are passionate about encouraging our pupils and families to choose active travel — walking, cycling or scooting — as their way of getting to and from school. Not only is this a healthier option, but it also helps reduce congestion and pollution around our school.
We’re proud to say that over 70% of our children now walk, cycle or scoot to school regularly, and we’re working hard to increase that number even more. Fewer car journeys mean cleaner air and a safer environment for everyone.
As part of our commitment to sustainable travel, our pupils have taken part in exciting learning activities across the school, exploring:
-
The impact of air quality on our health
-
How physical activity supports learning and boosts brain power
-
Road safety skills, including the Green Cross Code
Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM)
We’re proud to share that Mulgrave Primary School has been awarded the Gilt Award by the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) in recognition of the outstanding science teaching and learning taking place across our school.
Achieving this award in 2019 was no small feat — it required dedication, innovation, and a whole-school commitment to high-quality science education. Thanks to the enthusiasm of our pupils and the passion of our staff, we successfully met the rigorous criteria and were celebrated for the strength of our science curriculum and teaching.
To mark the achievement, members of our team attended a fantastic awards evening at Collins Publishers in London Bridge, where we had the exciting opportunity to meet inspirational figures in science education — including Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock from BBC’s The Sky at Night.
