A special plaque has been unveiled to celebrate a school's achievement in Witham.
Woodend Farm School welcomed the MP for Witham, Priti Patel, to the school to mark their recognition as a Thrive School of Excellence.
The school was given this award for their commitment to supporting the emotional and social development of their students.
The school of excellence award is the highest level of achievement in the Thrive Ambassador Schools programme and is given to schools who have "embedded the Thrive Approach across all aspects of school life".
Thrive’s work focuses on helping children and young people to develop emotionally and socially, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive both in school and beyond.
Priti Patel, who has been a strong supporter of the school and previously donated books to its library, welcomed the opportunity to celebrate this milestone.
She said: "Woodend Farm School has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the wellbeing and development of its students, and this recognition as a Thrive School of Excellence is a testament to the dedication of its staff and leadership.
"It is fantastic to see their hard work being celebrated, and I am delighted to join them for this special occasion."
The event brought together staff, students, and supporters of the school to mark this achievement.
