Improvements

Advisory head teacher at Pilgrims’ Way School, Jo Cerullo, said: “I am very proud of the children and everyone involved with the school, and grateful for all their hard work and determination to see Pilgrims’ Way become an improved school, despite the challenges we continue to face.

“We are not complacent and realise that there are still many issues to address. Changes and improvements have already been made in a number of areas and we are all focused on the outcomes for our children.

“The school receives support from central academy trust staff and governance members who, through their hard work and commitment, provide us with the challenge we need to improve. We are totally committed to further improvements and will continue to work hard to achieve this.”

The principal for The Village Academy, Ian Fidge, added: “The school’s leadership team have been working with trust staff to address the areas for improvement, with an agreed aim of quickly turning the school into a good school.”
