Leadership that makes a difference- Gladstone Primary

The school where they speak 20 languages: a day at Gladstone Primary | Education | The Guardian: "That was when Gladstone Primary School in Peterborough was judged "inadequate" by Ofsted, the teaching inspectorate's lowest mark. The school was ordered to improve, and was inspected with alarming regularity until it did. After a stressful 16 months, Ofsted has finally issued a glowing report. "Standards are rising rapidly. Pupils are making good progress often from a low starting point," judged inspectors. The behaviour of children at the school had always been good – in one report last year inspectors described pupils as "delightful" – but now the school was performing well academically. The head was praised for expecting high standards and for having "significantly improved the school"; the school was graded "good" in every aspect."
