TWO of Warrington's schools have been highlighted as outstanding examples by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, David Bell.

In his annual report published yesterday, Wednesday, David Bell named St Thomas's CE Primary School, in Stockton Heath, and Thelwall Community Infant School as successful and improving schools.

Only 364 schools nationwide were named in the report as having done well, Mr Bell, said: "I heartily congratulate the head teachers, staff, governors and pupils of all the successful schools named in my annual report on their success and hard work in delivering such a high standard of education."

John Hankey, head teacher of St Thomas's CE Primary, said: "We are delighted to have been highlighted for praise. It is the result of many years of dedication and hard work by our long-serving and dedicated staff, support staff, governors, pupils and parents. We share this with everyone involved with our school."

Janette Snelson, head teacher of Thelwall Community Infants, said: "We are all absolutely delighted to have been mentioned in this report.

"It is testament to the contribution of everyone in our school.

"Together we have proved to be a highly successful team and we will endeavour to continue to improve and raise standards for all our children."
