I started the day early at Blenheim...

I had coffee with Gary Nixon and Mike Haworth who have been doing some brilliant work around our provision for young people with behavioural problems. It is remarkable that ALL the behavioural provision here in Leeds is at least satisfactory and the majority good and outstanding. Our friends from OFSTED have told us that we are dealing with some of the most complex cases locally and what we are achieving is outstanding.

Gary, Mike and colleagues have certainly helped us focus and deliver at the hardest end of our provision. I know that there is still a lot to do but it is brilliant to see the progress we have made and it's impact across the city.
