More than a third of Wandsworth schools rated 'outstanding'

Parents living in property to rent in Wandsworth will be delighted to hear that more than a third of Wandsworth's schools have now been given an 'outstanding' rating by regulator Ofsted.

Of the 80 nursery, primary, secondary and special schools and Pupil Referral Units in the borough, 30 now have the coveted status.

It means Wandsworth has one of the highest numbers of outstanding-rated schools in London.

To celebrate, the local council held a special reception to show appreciation for the hard work of both teachers and staff.

Wandsworth's mayor Jane Cooper and cabinet member for education and children's services Kathy Tracey met headteachers and chair of governors at the town hall earlier this month.

Councillor Tracey said: "Staff and supporters at all of these schools and referral units deserve praise for reaching such high standards. These Ofsted ratings prove Wandsworth is home to hugely successful schools where parents can expect their children to receive a first class education."Parents living in property to rent in Wandsworth will be delighted to hear that more than a third of Wandsworth's schools have now been given an 'outstanding' rating by regulator Ofsted.
