Mayor of London recognises St Gregory's for exceptional achievements

St Gregory's eco-students

St Gregory's Catholic Science College in Kenton, has been celebrated under a new programme set up by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan to recognise exceptional schools in the capital. Schools for Success is part of the Mayor's drive to help tackle education inequality and increase standards for all school children across the capital.

The new programme creates a network for these schools to share best practice with others across London through events, school visits and online profiles. More than 100 eligible schools are invited to join the programme, with 27 boroughs represented at this year's awards. This cohort, refreshed annually, represents approximately six per cent of the capital's schools.

London's schools are outperforming the rest of the country with last year's GCSE results showing the city as the top English region for the ninth consecutive year. St Gregory's has been recognised in the Schools for Success Awards because last year, its GCSE results placed in the top 10% of schools in the country.

Headteacher Andrew Prindiville said: "We are absolutely delighted to receive another award from the Mayor's office which is, I believe, testament to the dedication of our teachers, hard work of our students and support of our parents."

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: "Congratulations to St Gregory's Catholic Science College for its outstanding achievement and for the hard work of its pupils and teaching staff. London has some of the best schools in the country and Schools for Success shows the huge difference good quality teaching can make to pupils."

102 schools have been recognised in Schools for Success, the first year of the scheme. They are being asked to share their good practice through seminars and hosting visits to their school so that other schools can learn from their successful approaches.
