Recognition for the Greig Academy |
|
| As many of you know, Fr Patrick is chaplain to the Academy. The success they have achieved over the past 6 years was formally recognised by Gordon Brown, the prime minister. Here is the story from the Hornsey & Crouch End Journal: | |

Paul Sutton, principal of Greig City Academy in Hornsey High Street, was invited to a reception at Downing Street on Monday, held to celebrate the country's most improved schools. Standards have risen rapidly at Greig City Academy since Mr Sutton took over in September 2004. |
| Pass rates at GCSE have soared from just 10 per cent to 40 per cent achieving five or more A*-C grades including English and maths. The school roll has also boomed, from 700 to 1,061, and the most recent Ofsted report praised the "inspirational" principal and "dedicated" staff, rating the school "good" overall. The Church of England academy, which opened in 2002, is aiming to be judged "outstanding" at its next inspection. The invitation from Downing Street described the reception as "an opportunity to recognise the enormous difference that you and others have made to the lives of pupils". Mr Sutton said: "We know that the improvements we have put in place for our pupils are effectively raising standards at the school. And it is genuinely pleasing that this team effort by the whole school community has been recognised in this way." He added: "The Prime Minister was clear that it is only through the hard work of staff in all schools that real changes take place. His speech was witty and interesting and he invited all the head teachers present to have a look around 10 Downing Street." Mr Brown's wife Sarah later wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Just attended reception for many of the top headteachers from around the UK - inspirational leaders all of them and no fear of the snow! |

Young adult's church - managing conflict |

A recent event is important to us all: dealing with conflict. Paula Spencer from the Greig Academy helped us explore the issues and disover ways to manage conflic.
