Today, I visited Three Rivers Academy to congratulate the school on their new Ofsted rating of Good. This is really well-deserved, and down to the leadership of headteacher, Anne-Louise Payne, and the hard work of all the teachers, support-staff and pupils to raise the standard. With their new ranking and new investment, the school is set to go from strength to strength.
All our state secondary schools in Esher and Walton now have an Ofsted rating of Good or Outstanding, which is good news for local families.
I took the opportunity to talk to a classroom of pupils – of all ages – about my role as their local Member of Parliament. They asked some great questions and we discussed mental health issues, climate change and the school curriculum.
