As Head teacher of Ripple Junior School, it is with huge pride that I can announce to you the fact that our pupils have achieved fantastic results in their SATs for 2009, again improving on last year's results.
We've been working really hard for such a long time; it's so satisfying to tell you that not only are our pupils again achieving beyond Local Authority targets but we are also confident that they are at least in line with National targets if not beyond them.
Everyone in the school deserves a tremendous pat on the back and hearty congratulations from me. I feel very proud of all the staff and pupils in Ripple Junior School; I'm sure that you are very proud as well. Mr Mitchell (Head teacher)
(Ripple Junior's SATs results are in red; LA's in green; National picture blue.)
