The Stoke Heath 60

There are 60 skills and experiences that we believe all children should have before they leave primary school. The SH60!

We give our children opportunities to complete the SH60 during their time at Stoke Heath Primary. The SH60 is divided into 6 themes.

Enjoying Learning, Celebrating Success

The children are given a booklet to record their SH60 achievements. They can also received a bronze, silver and gold award when they have achieved 20, 40 and 60 skills and experiences.
