Pride at school’s place in prestigious journal
MARPLE Hall School has appeared alongside Prime Minister Theresa May in the 2016/17 Parliamentary Review.
Established by former minister The Rt Hon David Curry in 2010, The Parliamentary Review’s September release is now a key fixture in the political calendar.
Marple Hall School features alongside a small number of outstanding schools in a document that looks back on the year in schools and Westminster. The main aim of the Review is to showcase best practice as a learning tool to the public and private sector.
Across all policy areas, The Parliamentary Review is sent to over half a million leading policy makers. The articles in the Review act as both a blueprint for success and a template for reform.
The PM’s former cabinet colleague Sir Eric Pickles, who was recently appointed chairman of the Review, said: “It has never been more important for government to hear the views of business and the public sector in a constructive forum. It is also a vital time to share best practice and progress.”
The Parliamentary Review’s director Daniel Yossman concurred, saying: “Marple Hall School and other hardworking organisations from across the country have come together to make this year’s Review possible.
“Sharing knowledge and insight with both peers and government is essential work and I am delighted that this year’s Review will reach every corner of the British economy. It’s always a real joy to hear from policy makers who tell me that something they have read in the Review has had an effect on their thinking.
“It is my belief that innovation is contagious, if only it is given the platform to spread. It is the Review’s purpose to provide this platform and I am confident we are fulfilling it.”
Marple Hall headteacher Joe Barker added: “Being asked to take part in the 2017 Parliamentary Review is a great honour for the school and I’m proud to see Marple Hall getting the recognition that we deserve. It is an enormous privilege to be able to work with so many dedicated staff and determined students.”
