Baroness Diana Barran MBE visited Turves Green Boys’ School to see for herself the transformation that has taken place there since the school joined Matrix Academy Trust in April 2021. Headteacher James Till led a tour of the school, which recently was regraded by Ofsted as ‘Good’. It was ‘Inadequate’ when he took the school on. Baroness Barran was particularly interested in finding out how attendance has gone from being very low to above national figures. She was impressed with how rigorous systems, parental engagement and the school culture have led to such rapid improvement.
