Looking at the trust’s individual schools, from the seven that were inspected in recent months, one school moved up from ‘good’ to ‘outstanding’, one remained as ‘good’ and most impressively, five that ‘required improvement’ were moved up to ‘good’.

Martyn Oliver, Chief Executive of OGAT, said: “I am thankful to the staff for all their hard work and their determination.”
