Feltham school is 'country's most improved'
Early predictions are suggesting that Feltham Community College's GCSE results might have earned it the title of Britain's most improved school.
Jubilation filled the school hall as 42% of pupils achieved five A*-C grades including maths and English compared with just 24% last year.
The struggling school has experienced a remarkable turnaround since head teacher Victoria Eadie took over last September and teachers who have taught at the Browell's Lane school for years were amazed at the results.
Mrs Eadie said: "I think we might be the most improved school in the country. Every member of staff is absolutely delighted because they have worked so hard. Some of them have been hear for years and have never seen results like this.
"We have been at the bottom of the curve for years but we are on the upward slope now. The students are absolutely thrilled and so they should be."
The specialist sports college has been plagued by a poor academic and bad behavioural record in recent years but Mrs Eadie hopes this set of results will make Feltham Community College a school parents are happy to send their children to.
"It has always been a nice school but now it's about every kid attaining their best," she said. "I think that will make the parents want to send their children here again and next year we want to see further progress."

What you do not look into though is their illegal behaviour policy which is confusing and stressing many parents beyond belief!
They are allowed to give out up to an hour detention without giving the parent notice in advice YET the government website states the opposite.
They give Saturday mornings detention which is fair enough but to post the letter the day before the said detention during a postal strike and not inform the parent or child of it otherwise is nothing but absurd!
Yes it has improved and YES it is fantastic but parents need notice of detentions in advance so they can make arrangements for childcare etc.
