They've scored! - Barstable school has received an FA charter mark Picture: ROB BROWNE
Just ask Barstable School, in Timberlog Close, Basildon, which has been presented with the FA Charter Mark for football, given to schools providing a high standard of football provision and coaching.
Headteacher Jonathan Oddy said: "It is a quality assurance mark and it shows our standard of football provision is the best you can get."
The award has also enabled the school to forge links with local team Beech United, which will be using the premises as a base.
