Stephen Metcalfe, local MP
for South Basildon and Thurrock, has congratulated Gable Hall School for
receiving a national Educational Outcomes Award.
The Award recognises the
outstanding progress made by Gable Hall students at GCSE level and the value
added by the school to student’s achievements.
Gable Hall’s success was
identified in a recent in-depth analysis of official Department for Education
data on all state funded schools in England by SSAT, the national school’s
membership organisation for improvement and collaboration. The school qualified
for the award by being in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress made
by pupils between their key stage 2 results at primary school and their GCSE
results at age 16.
Mr Metcalfe commented: “This
is an exceptional achievement and a real testament to the hard work and
dedication of the staff and pupils at Gable Hall. I would like to offer my
warmest congratulations to all involved and my thanks to everyone who works so
hard to maintain these standards.
“I look forward to seeing the
school go from strength to strength and hope that it demonstrates what schools
in South Basildon and East Thurrock can achieve.”
Sue Williamson, Chief
Executive of SSAT said: “Gable Hall School have proved themselves to be leading
the field in improving GCSE outcomes for their students. There is so much good
practice that this school could share, and I hope many schools will join us at
the celebration ceremony for the chance to network and share strategies with
award-winning schools.”
“These results are testament
to the commitment and hard work of the students, teachers and leadership team
at Gable Hall School, and show what can be achieved when skilled teachers have
high expectations and ambition for every young person. I am proud that this
school is a member of the SSAT network.”
