| With Woodlands School pupils |
It was great to visit Woodlands School in Basildon and see first-hand how the school is developing.
I was pleased to find that Woodlands is going from strength-to-strength under the leadership of its Headteacher, Mr Simon Cox, and that it has seen a fantastic turn-around.
The school achieved record exam results in 2016, with 5 A*- C GCSE including English and Maths at 58%, representing a 10% increase on results from the year before.
The teachers and students that I met on my visit were all very impressive and I look forward to hearing more about the school's progress in the future.
