10 January 2008 Dear Pupils Inspection of The Percy Hedley School, North Tyneside What a joy it was to visit your wonderful school the other day. ‘Memorable’ is the best way I can describe it, and for all the right reasons. Thank you for contributing to the uplifting experience. It is my job to visit schools such as yours to see how things are going. I can confidently say, in your case, that things are going outstandingly well. My conversations with a few of you suggested that you already knew this. Schools as excellent as yours are rare. ‘Outstanding in all aspects of its work’ is what I wrote in my report and I meant it. That means you are getting an exceptionally good deal. Teaching, the curriculum, your care and the leadership and management of the school are all excellent. As a result, you are making wonderful progress and being prepared exceptionally well for when you leave. I am meant to give you a list of improvements needed to make your school even better.
