Committed to high standards
Cllr Jackie Smith, Greenwich Council Cabinet Member for Children and Young People’s Services, said:
"Congratulations to the staff, pupils and governors at all of the schools.
"Schools in Greenwich are committed to maintaining high standards and providing an environment that inspires learning.
"Many schools that were previously under-performing have now turned around completely to become successful and thriving.
"This is underlined by the fact that Greenwich outstripped that national rate of improvement at Key Stage 2 last year."
