Village so proud of its super school

Posted on February 10, 2005

Outstanding – that's the verdict from Ofsted chief David Bell on Eaton Bray Lower School in his annual report for 2003-04.

That meant it was celebration time at the friendly village school, which was among just FOUR Bedfordshire schools to win that high praise in the report.

Nationally, he highlighted 393 schools and colleges which had received an outstanding report in 2003-04 and provide a high standard of education for their pupils.

The Ofsted chief said: "I heartily congratulate the headteacher, staff, governors and pupils or students of all the successful schools and colleges named in my annual report on their success and hard work in delivering such a high standard of education."

Eaton Bray Lower's head, Sue Hounslow, said: "We have a great team – teachers, non-teaching staff, governors, parents, Home School Association and not forgetting the children!

"Everyone works so hard, I'm delighted that this has been recognised in some way."
