Exceptional School Provides Students the Opportunity to 'Excel'

Playing a prominent role in the leading of a school in a very poor area, it would be submitted that English and mathematics are improving kids' lives.
Allen: "It's been a help to us to grow while working with Ofsted, the government inspection team, which had rated the school 'outstanding' at the highest level."
Nine-year-old Reilly stated, "I really enjoy it. It's not just good. Mile Cross School is the best school in Norwich and the finest school you will ever see."
"Great teachers and great students make this school better," Maxwell, aged 10, said. The Office for National Statistics has shared data saying that one in four children in Norfolk leave primary school unable to read well.
Almost three out of four children meet the needed standards in reading, writing, and math. Ofsted, in its most recent evaluation, observed, "Children at Mile Cross Primary are given every chance to shine. They achieve well in their studies and are well supported to enjoy success in other areas. They develop into mature, confident young people."
Mr. Allen said, "Our work with Ofsted is a team effort. It helped us grow." You've heard it from the teachers, and you've heard it from the kids: they love to come to the school. We're making a place that's warm and open. In every room, the kids work hard, trying to improve." He aims to build a culture where students know they can reach goals by hard work.
Alice Macdonald said, "I got to talk about Mile Cross in Parliament thanks to this great Ofsted result, because I think it's key to show the good things."
The MP felt the school has a "strong community feel," with teachers, parents, and Mile Cross folks coming together. English teacher Hannah Barrett noted, "We give many chances to the kids. We ensure they have a lot of stuff they like and let them choose what to write about." She mentioned that the school plans "many trips," with a future, longer stay in London.
