Deepings Comprehensive School has just been awarded an 'Outstanding' grade during Ofsted's latest inspection.
Anyone who knows Deepings Comp won't be surprised that it's achievements put it in the top 15% of all schools in the country.
As a Governor for eight years until a few months ago - and as proud father of two daughters who were given a great start at Deepings Comp - I know we are blessed with a fantastic local school.
The Business and Enterprise specialist school is a fine example of what can be achieved by a true Comprehensive. Unlike some other local schools, no child is turned away because of their perceived academic ability. At Deepings Comp, every student gets the chance to develop to their full potential.
Chris Beckett who was promoted to Head Teacher five years ago provides first-rate leadership and has strengthened a great team of staff which, together with the students, fully deserve the thanks and praise of our local community.
Here's some of the highlights from the Ofsted report which has just been published.

Many people who go to the Deepings School are refugees from the Queen Eleanor School in Stamford.
They are probably also the ones who would have taken advantage of the assisted places scheme, before it was strangely stopped. Queen Eleanor is not a comprehensive.
Even so, it's not a bad result from the Deepings School considering Bourne Grammar School gets first choice of Deepings' best. Deepings might even get a few refugees from Peterborough and its terrible schools.
Comprehensive schools work in pleasant middle class areas like the Deepings. In Peterborough, the comprehensives have too many social problems to work.
What social problems are there in the Deepings? Where are the teenage mothers?
