A Penrith primary school has been nominated for a national award.

Milburn Primary School is one of three primary schools nominated for The PTI's annual Primary Impact Award.

The school has been nominated for its 'vibrant' music programme within its 'unique small-school setting'.

The award promotes and celebrates excellence in primary leadership, recognising primary schools that put quality subject teaching at the heart of the classroom.

Hugh Rayment-Pickard, co-director of The PTI, said: "The nominees for this year’s PTI Primary Impact Award have demonstrated remarkable dedication to their craft, showcasing both innovation and passion in their approach to teaching.

"Through their work with PTI Primary Hubs, these schools have set a high standard for excellence not just within their classrooms, but the wider educational community."

The winning school who demonstrates the ethos and values of the organisation will receive a £5,000 prize and trophy.

The ceremony will take place later this month.
