* * HMIe Report on Hermitage Academy is published. * *
 
The HMIe Report on the inspection which took place during the first week in June has now been published. A copy of the report is being sent to parents /  carers.
The report can be accessed online at the HMIe website www.hmie.gov.uk .
 
The report is first class and reflects the growing reputation of the school, both locally and nationally.

As Headteacher, I am delighted with the HMie report which highlights the many strengths of the school. I am particularly pleased that it recognises the impact of the hard work and commitment of the staff in providing a first class education. It is a report that the whole school and the community can be extremely proud of, especially the very positive statements about the pupils and their attitudes to learning and sense of pride in their school. I look forward to ensuring that Hermitage Academy builds on this report and continues to strive for excellence.
