Our School's Accreditations

KJS has been awarded the following accreditations:

Arts Council Artsmark Gold Award
Artsmark is a national award scheme managed by Arts Council England that recognises schools with a high level of provision in the arts. The award scheme is open to all schools in England - primary, secondary, special schools and pupil referral units, both maintained and independent.

By gaining an Artsmark, a school shows its commitment to the wider development of young people and teachers and to raising the profile of the arts in the school and local community.

FMSiS - Financial Management Standard in Schools
Each local authority has a Scheme for Financing Schools, which defines the financial relationship between the authority and the schools in its area. The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) defines what is to be included in Schemes and amendments to Schemes are approved by the Secretary of State. The FMSiS was added to the Scheme for Financing Schools in October 2006 and from January 2007 it became a legal requirement for all schools to meet the Standard.
The FA - Charter Standard Schools
The Charter Standard for Schools programme is a kite marking scheme that establishes minimum standards of football development in schools.

It is also a means by which good practice is recognised and will raise standards by sharing this good practice.

Healthy Schools
"The Healthy Schools Programme became 10 years old in 2009. And it is today more relevant and more central to our agenda than ever before, because it’s about the long-term health of the country.

"There are countless examples of creativity and innovation from schools in supporting the health and wellbeing of their pupils - and I have every confidence that Healthy Schools will continue to provide vital support to schools as we move forwards, building towards our ambition for the 21st Century School."- Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families
