THE HIGH achievement of pupils in Otley and Yeadon has been recognised by the Minister of State for Schools.

David Laws MP wrote to Otley All Saints C of E Primary School and Queensway Primary, in Yeadon, last week to congratulate them on the results gained by their Pupil Premium students.

Mr Laws has sent a similar letter to all schools who have seen improvement among children who qualify for the premium, which provides an extra £1,300 per year to schools for each pupil from a disadvantaged background.

Councillor Campbell said: “Staff and students should be very proud of themselves.”
