Thank you to our schools and pupils

As we reach the end of the academic year, the executive member for children, young people and learning, Cllr Roy Bailey, the executive director for people, Grainne Siggins, local councillors and staff within our education and learning team, would like to express their gratitude to all children, staff and families in our schools and academies.

We know how hard you have worked within and beyond classrooms, drama studios, gymnasiums and sports fields.

So far, we know that overall, our KS2 results continue to be above the national average, based on the first release of this information on Tuesday (11 July). We look forward to the publication of results for GCSE, A Level and other level 2 and 3 qualifications next month.

Results are only part of the picture, of course, and we want to acknowledge and celebrate all the other achievements that happen on a daily basis, in every year group, in all our schools and settings.

Thank you for all that you do and we wish you a restful and enjoyable summer break.
