AS A Barton resident I was pleased to note the latest Ofsted report for Bayards Hill commending its recent progress and improvement.

This is a huge testament not only to the headteacher, but all the staff, governors, pupils and parents for their hard work.

As a teacher myself, I know there is no greater agent for change in a community than education.

Nothing will change Barton like having outstanding schools, and all Barton residents can be pleased that Bayards Hill has taken a step in that direction.

I wish it all the best in getting there in the terms ahead.

MARTYN RUSH, Barton
