Futures Vision Bus Tours 2008

Ken Walsh and Mike Dinsdale summed up all our feelings on this specific and very special visit .

Neil Wilson and his team of staff and students ,from both the main secondary site and the 3 associated primary schools ,gave us the warmest of welcomes .

We were still on a part building site but this did not affect the enthusiasm and obvious success enjoyed by all those associated with this school at the very heart of all its community .

They were all there - parents , students past and present , governors , learning mentors , support staff , multiagency teams from the PCT and social services , it was quite enlightening for all of us and clearly well led from the top .

The facilities new and refurbished stand out as value for money and the external areas were again both functional and well planned .

Certainly one of the most deserving of all the FV visited schools for this award .

Every part of the school we visited and every student we met exemplified the school mission INSPIRE, SERVE, ACHIEVE.

I am very impressed with the way Sawtry college has involved the wider community with huge benefits for all. I was particularly inspired by the active citizenship project in year 10. I will be encouraging my colleagues to get in touch with Emma!
Thank you Sawtry for all your hospitality; the tour guides were excellent !
