Sackville School wins national award for performance

Headteacher Julian Grant and Deputy Headteacher Neil Feist were invited to London on Thursday June 6th to receive the SSAT Educational Outcomes Award 2019 for Exceptional Student Progress.

This means we have been recognised nationally for our excellent results in 2018 based on data from the Department for Education and Ofsted, analysed by SSAT (the Schools, Students and Teachers network). Sackville was found to be among the best performing secondary schools in the country, receiving an award for being in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress. The SSAT Educational Outcomes database compares all state-funded schools in England and the highest performing schools for a range of key measures are awarded SSAT Educational Outcomes Awards. 

Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of SSAT said: “I am delighted that Sackville School has won an Educational Outcomes Awards. This recognises one important aspect of the school’s work but at SSAT we believe an outstanding school has deep social justice at the heart of its plan; it subjects that plan to constant challenge and innovation; and it liberates teachers to perform brilliantly in the classroom. SSAT is pleased to recognise the quality of leadership and the hard work of all staff to ensure the success of every child. A big thank you and well done to students, parents, staff and governors.”
