Transcript
00:00Okay Mr. Bedford, Progress 8 scores are out and I understand that your school is
00:04the most improved in the country. Yeah we're absolutely delighted to see that
00:08Farringdon topped the list of the 3,200 schools in the UK. We've improved progress
00:13by over full grade which is unbelievable for the outcomes of the students at
00:17Farringdon. And how many schools is that out of do you know? Yeah it's over 3,200
00:22and we've topped the list. I think there's actually 3,299 schools on the
00:26list and Farringdon came in top. I understand the results in core subjects went up
00:31massively as well. We made huge gains on 4+, 5+, English and Maths measures. We
00:36came in at 74% 4+, and 57% 5+, which is a massive leap from the previous year.
00:42Just what do you think's been the key to turning it around? We implemented our
00:46Northern model of school improvement, created a culture of positive
00:50reinforcement, rewarded the students for doing really well and ensuring that
00:55they got the best outcomes they deserved. Obviously in the new building now, I mean
00:59what are your hopes going forward in terms of maintaining these results?
01:02Really hopeful that the new build will inspire the students further, raise
01:07aspirations further. We're determined to continue with the outcomes we get at
01:11Farringdon and we'll ensure we do that by continuing to implement our Northern
01:14model.
