Cockburn School has been recognised nationally for its excellent results in 2018 based on data from the Department for Education and Ofsted, analysed by SSAT, the Schools, Students and Teachers network.
Cockburn School was found to be among the best performing secondary schools in the country, receiving an award for being in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress.
The SSAT Educational Outcomes database compares all state-funded schools in England and the highest performing schools for a range of key measures are awarded SSAT Educational Outcomes Awards.
Cockburn School will be presented with their award during the summer term at a ceremony attended by winners from across the region.
Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of SSAT said:
“I am delighted that Cockburn School has won an Educational Outcomes Awards. This recognises one important aspect of the school’s work but at SSAT we believe an outstanding school has deep social justice at the heart of its plan; it subjects that plan to constant challenge and innovation; and it liberates teachers to perform brilliantly in the classroom.
“SSAT is pleased to recognise the quality of leadership and the hard work of all staff to ensure the success of every child. A big thank you and well done to students, parents, staff and governors.”
David Gurney, Executive Headteacher of Cockburn Multi-academy Trust said:
“It is a great honour to receive national recognition for the progress our students make.”
This is a brilliant achievement after all the hard work that goes into getting it right well done pupils and staff alike.
Brilliant news Cockburn Academy, keep up the good work and well done to all who put the hard work in !! It just show’s what can be done x
