The Macclesfield Academy was delighted to play host to David Rutley MP on 28th March. Mr Rutley had come to congratulate students and staff on the Academy’s recent OFSTED report and to find out the secret of their success. He toured lessons in French, ICT, Science, Maths and Food Technology and saw for himself the impact of the Academy’s welcoming community, personalised curriculum and enriched education. He took the opportunity to talk with many students including some who had transferred to the Academy from other schools and who could speak first hand of the welcome they had received and the progress they were making. His visit ended with a meeting with our student leadership team who have played an important part in shaping the Academy’s positive ethos. As they discussed issues facing the Macclesfield community, it was clear that the Academy has several young politicians in the making.
David Rutley said: “It was a pleasure
to tour The Macclesfield Academy and see how far the school has come in such a
short period of time. It is clear that staff, students and governors are
working hard to make this a great place to learn. I was particularly
impressed by the student leadership team and the contribution they are making.”
Richard Hedge, Academy Headteacher,
added, “We were delighted that our MP was able to visit the Academy. Our OFSTED report spoke of the positive ethos
which pervades the Academy and I was pleased that, in meeting a full range of
our students from our SEN support group to the student leadership team, David
was able to experience this ethos for himself.”
