The Primary Science Quality Mark is an award to develop and celebrate the quality of science teaching and learning in primary schools. The Gold award demonstrates that as a school we have sustained and evolving good practice and innovation shared with other organisations.
In the citation accompanying the award the assessor described the nature of science teaching at the school thus: “Kibworth is obviously a shining example of how to teach science and inspire children in independent scientific thinking.”
This award recognises the school’s success in developing the strategic use of ICT in both administration and across the curriculum. It is proof that their children are attending a school at the forefront of modern technology.

In our quest to achieve the Food for Life Silver award, we now serve school meals on plates, not flight trays, there is a range of free range, local and organic items on the menu. Pupils can attend a cooking club and get to cook and eat the produce they have grown in school. Parents and the wider community get involved too through food themed events: We are now working towards the Food for Life Gold Award – the ultimate award that recognises schools, which use practical learning experiences to reconnect young people to the food they eat, following the journey from field to plate.
