A secondary school has been nationally recognised for transforming the way in which it reviews its curriculums.

Walthamstow School for Girls in Church Hill developed a tool to improve learning by collecting feedback from students and faculty leaders and feeding it into a monitoring system.

The school which was rated ‘good’ in its latest Ofsted inspection worked with high-performing schools to make the idea a reality before it was reviewed by academics.

The Schools, Students and Teachers’ Network (SSAT) awarded it 'accreditation for transforming practice' under the Framework for Exceptional Education after a review by an independent monitor and another school.

Head teacher, Meryl Davies said staff are “delighted” that their “ground-breaking work in leading change and developing strong, reflective systems” has been recognised.

She added: “We look forward to sharing our work with schools nationally.”

SSAT's Chief Executive, Sue Williamson said: "For a school to be accredited for transforming practice is a real credit to their team and the quality of the work that they are doing."

SSAT brings together school leaders, teachers and students through networks, professional development programmes, school improvement initiatives and practical events.
