A SECONDARY school is celebrating after it notched up a national success.
Hall Garth School, Middlesbrough, has been awarded the Basic Skills Agency Quality Mark for Secondary Schools.
The success follows the announcement the school had become one of the first in the country to gain the Gold Artsmark award from the Arts Council, in recognition of its commitment to the arts.
Richard Bain, headteacher, said: "This latest award is a tribute to the hard work and commitment of staff and pupils, and underlines the excellent standards we have achieved in basic skills across the school.
"The work that is done in this particular direction provides our pupils with a solid basis on which to build."
In September, Hall Garth is to become a specialist school for the performing arts.
