I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues here at Leehurst for their continued hard work and support.  I would also like to thank pupils and parents for their continued support, and for taking the time to complete the ISI questionnaire; all responses were considered by the Inspection team, and will continue to form part of our plans for the future, a shared vision, with pupils at the heart of everything we do here at Leehurst Swan, to ensure that we continue to be the ‘best version of ourselves’."
