Students and staff are celebrating again at the Cornelius Vermuyden School after receiving the ‘SLS UK School Library Award’ - Gold Award.

In the congratulatory communication to the school, Sally Harrison (The Education Manager for Juniper Education) outlined,  

“Congratulations to you and your team on achieving the Gold Award. This is an impressive submission and you have clearly demonstrated the value you place on the library as a central part of your reading strategy”.

The school is delighted with the feedback, especially as 17 of the 20 criteria were deemed to be graded as ‘enhanced’ status. The school will hold this award for 5 years, however the school will now use the constructive feedback to further enhance the library for the benefit of all students and staff.

The school has seen a radical overhaul of reading provision and strategy since the Section 5 Ofsted inspection in December 2019 deemed to school as ‘requires improvement’. Ofsted, in their report, stated “Pupils do not read widely. The resources in the library do not meet the needs of pupils”. This latest news, therefore, only highlights the pace at which we are making improvements.
