Boris gives Beaumont gold
Beaumont Primary has become the first
school in our Local Authority to be awarded
a Gold Mark of Excellence by Mayor Boris
Johnson in recognition of work encouraging
all pupils to attain exceptional results,
regardless of their socio-economic
background.
The Purley School, which has a large
percentage of ethnic minority pupils who
speak English as a second language, is now
part of the London Schools’ Gold Club – a
school-to-school improvement programme
designed to identify and share outstanding
practice.
Headteacher Linda Harvey collected
the award from Munira Mirza, the Deputy
Mayor for Education and Culture, at Mayor
Johnson’s first annual education conference
in November.
Mrs Harvey, who has also been
nominated by the National College as a
Pupil Premium Systems Leader, said: “We are
delighted to receive this recognition of
excellence. Our school community works
very hard to achieve consistently
outstanding results.”
