Alyson Russen, Millbank's headteacher for 15 years, said: "We were really delighted. Millbank is such a rewarding place to teach.

The Ofsted report particularly praised Ms Russen, stating: "She is relentless in her drive to accelerate progress and raise standards further.
"She is very well supported by a team of teaching and non-teaching staff who have created a vibrant, colourful and interesting environment which is conducive to learning and in which pupils excel."

She said: "I'm so proud of everyone at the school,from staff to pupils.
